Description:

As organizations expand internationally or reorganize, there is an increase in the number of virtual, global teams seemingly overnight. In what ways is virtual, global leadership different from face-to-face leadership? How can leaders of such teams build trust, communicate effectively and drive performance when they can’t just walk down the hall and stop by someone’s cubicle? This course explores industry best practices and builds concrete strategies to answer these and other questions.

Course can be taken in more than one sitting as the course has the ability to save your place.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain how cultural values and norms influence dispersed team interactions and review miscommunication issues that may be driven by individual differences;
• Predict the impact of a team’s cultural make-up on team interactions;
• Build strategies for leveraging the diversity of dispersed team members based on the incorporation of their varied perspectives; and
• Demonstrate how to structure communications or meetings via e-mail and other virtual technologies, to increase productivity within a multicultural, geo-dispersed team.
