Leading Remote Teams Through Influence: Building Relationships and Getting Results Across Boundaries
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. Building global and virtual teams require the same communication skills and leadership qualities to be high-performing as do co-located teams. They also require additional or alternative processes and leadership skills to be most effective.
When working with others remotely, you need to be especially skillful and flexible in the way you influence others. You need effective influence skills to help 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. Great influence skills 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 building and 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.
The influence behaviors and skills are drawn from Exercising Influence™, our popular influence training program, and tailored for the unique needs of those who lead remote teams.
This program is offered in three formats. It can be taken as a two- or three part webinar, an onsite program brought to your company in either one or two days, or as a public program. Contact Barnes and Conti Associates to find out which of these options is best for you.
