"Virtual team leadership can be challenging. When leading from a distance, decisive mistakes are quickly made that unintentionally demotivate the team. It doesn't have to be this way! We have ideas for making your virtual team leadership a success."

Overview

Virtual team leadership requires a new mindset – especially from the leader. Only then can processes and workloads be designed virtually, efficiently, and as smoothly as possible, without a loss of motivation and coordination. Virtual team leadership needs a present leader who acts with trust.

The online training “Virtual Team Leadership” supports team leads, managers and project managers in dealing with the specific challenges of virtual team leadership. We take a look at the pitfalls of virtual team leadership and give practical recommendations for action. There is plenty of room for self-reflection and exhanging experiences within the group.

Who is this for?

For team leads, managers and project managers who mainly lead virtually

For leaders looking for new ideas and inspiration for virtual team communication

For managers who want to promote and maintain team spirit virtually

Training goals and content can be agreed on an individual basis. Here are some examples:

Virtual vs. classic leadership: the biggest differences and pitfalls for leaders
Staff development in times of remote teamwork
Motivating virtual teams
Communication in remote teams, remote team guidelines
Feedback processes and conflict resolution in a virtual team

Procedure

We clarify the differences between virtual and classic leadership and work out how managers can deal with the challenges of virtual working in very practical ways. The main issue here is to avoid micromanagement and a “laissez faire” style of leadership.

The focus is also on employee development in times of remote teamwork, as well as which attitudes and skills employees need in the virtual setting and how managers can strengthen and promote these.
Employees’ intrinsic motivation also plays a role here, which managers themselves should work towards from a distance. Appreciative and effective communication tools and channels are presented as well as top “quick fixes” for leaders to optimise team communication.
