Leading Remote Teams through Influence: Building Relationships and Getting Results Across Boundaries

Leading Remote Teams Through Influece

For some time, organizations have been in a state of rapid structural change. Virtual teams often spread across the globe, are commonplace. Building and supporting virtual teams of culturally diverse, high-performing individuals presents many new challenges to leaders. Global and virtual teams require the same skills and qualities to be high-performing as do co-located teams. They also require additional or alternative processes and leadership skills to be most effective.

To be successful in today’s complex organizations, particularly when working remotely, you need to be skillful and flexible in the way you influence others. Using effective influence skills helps you build the relationships necessary to get positive results with others on your team and those with whom your team interacts, regardless of your positional power. Effective influence moves your ideas into action by stimulating others to support, allow, provide resources for, or participate actively in your initiatives.

Leading Remote Teams Through Influence™ provides you with processes, techniques, and tools to create and maintain trusting, motivated, high-performing teams. You will learn and apply a set of powerful influence skills that will enhance your team leadership and membership capabilities. This program offers team leaders and members the skills to succeed, especially when working across boundaries of time, distance, and culture.
