Managers are facing challenges in supervising and motivating staff that are distanced by location and remote platforms.  This workshop will review the benefits & challenges of managing remote teams as well as introduce a set of best-practices and validated leadership tools for utilization to meet time-sensitive demands and expectations in the workplace.  In a faster-paced work environment and amidst global uncertainty, this seminar offers a rationale to expand the identity of the leader as a “change manager” and introduces authentic approaches to enhance motivation and effectiveness across work setting interfaces and with an increasingly diverse workforce. Concepts and skills reviewed are intended to promote effective leadership located between & across locations and via in-person/online interfacing.

Participants will:

• Understand the benefits and challenges of managing remote teams.
• Apply best practices for leading distributed staff and meeting deadlines.
• Broaden the leader's responsibilities as a "change agent" in dynamic, fast-paced settings.
• Enhance motivation and engagement in diverse, remote, and in-person teams.
