Today’s workforce is increasingly working from home and other remote locations, with teams spread across countries and time zones. Our managers are having to learn how to connect with their people through time lags and technology interfaces. It’s the new normal, and it comes with a new set of benefits and challenges.
Managing in this environment is tricky. It can be hard to understand what’s really going on, given less access to nonverbal cues and body language. It can be harder to build rapport and trust over long distances.
Employees working remotely also have many new challenges to adapt to. It’s harder to understand goals as tasks evolve with the additional separation from their leader. Working for hours or days with fewer human interactions is isolating, damaging morale and reducing connection to colleagues. And there’s a host of new technologies and techniques to master in order to communicate and collaborate well.
Leading Virtually™ helps managers with remote staff learn a skillset to stay connected and increase the effectiveness and productivity of their people.
