Description

Whilst there are lots of blogs and webinars on leading remotely there are very few leaders who have done this successfully over the long-term.

The current situation demands that leaders respond and adapt to new circumstances. This may require refining practices, approaches and language so that their team can succeed in a remote-work environment for as long as it takes.

In this webinar Deb will bring together 25 years of virtual leadership practice with the latest research, thinking and best-practice in this field

The content explores best-practice, proven, practical techniques for:

• Understanding the key differences when leading remote teams, especially in highly volatile environments.
• How to prioritise the operational meeting structures and content that will work best for your organisation considering any dependencies.
• How to communicate and create shared agreements when you can’t ‘see’ or stand next each other – it does change things!
• How to hold effective meetings to ensure both quality discussion and high levels of participation.
• How to do the ‘small things’ that are never small at all – such as giving and receiving feedback, noticing wins and progress.
• Best practice performance management including a practical model to help you understand what level of detail you should be working at.
• Communicating performance expectations, exploring what needs to be negotiable right now and how to discuss these elements.
• How to stay connected when we don’t ‘see’ each other for long periods of time.
• Maintaining development and learning opportunities for their team when traditional sources are limited.
• Supporting resilience, wellbeing and work/life balance for employees while they work from home.

This session will be interactive. It includes the opportunity for Q&A and further reading references

The slides include ‘how to’ guides for achieving a high calibre of management and leadership of virtual teams
