Virtual Leadership: Managing a Dispersed Team

As a result of this learning experience, participants will

• Create positive working relationships and establish a greater sense of inclusion among virtual team members.
• Leverage their leadership strengths and focus on developing their opportunities for improvement in a way that supports the virtual team.
• Maximize the cultural, experiential, and locational diversity of team members.
• Make the necessary adjustments to their leadership style and team processes that will enable new levels of virtual-team performance.
• Break down the barriers that a virtual work setting typically creates, and facilitate collaboration in a virtual environment.
• Gain a renewed passion for and commitment to the timeless principles of leadership.

The Virtual Leadership workshop focuses on the most common challenges that virtual leaders face today. This workshop can also be customized using an “a la carte” approach to the topics that are covered to better address the unique challenges that leaders within your organization face with their virtual teams. During the workshop, participants receive a brief introduction to the overarching characteristics of effective leadership but spend the majority of their time in the workshop developing, practicing, and planning how to apply the concepts, tools, and ideas presented. Depending on your preferred approach, we can either use CMOE’s Leadership Model or CMOE can integrate your organization’s internal leadership model or competencies into the workshop; the latter approach ensures that the workshop is seamlessly aligned with the skillsets and values that your leaders are already familiar with and working towards.

The Virtual Leadership program is typically delivered in a one-day or two-day format; however, the length of this course is flexible and can be adjusted to fit the unique needs of the organization or its audience. As an alternative, the program can be built into an internal curriculum or development series.

This workshop is led by an experienced CMOE facilitator at a location of your choice. CMOE also offers Train-the-Trainer services for clients who prefer to have their in-house training professionals or facilitators deliver the Virtual Leadership workshop material.
