What will i get out of it
Physical distance between managers and their teams raises barriers to communication and presents leadership challenges that if not managed properly result in poor team spirit and performance problems.
While some functions have historically had a significant element of remoteness (e.g sales and service staff), more and more people from all functions and levels in organisations are working remotely at least some of the time. This growth in remote working has been facilitated by technical and cost improvements in remote technologies as well as flexible working opportunities being demanded by employees and promoted by employers and of course by globalisation.
DonÂ't let the challenging aspects of managing from a distance adversely affect your teamÂ's morale and productivity without learning how to address them. This course will show you positive ways to address issues of remoteness and equip you with practical tools to increase morale and lead your people and teams to success.
