Managing from a Distance can be Tough

Leading remotely makes it harder to build rapport and develop trust with remote and hybrid teams. Too often developing the necessary change in behaviour to effectively overcome challenges is left to chance, often with little or no training provided to support managers in their transition into the world of remote leadership. This can lead to:

Overwhelm

Inability to prioritise, especially when there are multiple decisions to make = no focus!

Ineffective leadership

The principles of good management and leadership still apply, no matter the distance.

Performance issues

Inconsistent reviews, unresolved issues and successes forgotten.

Leading Remote Teams

Our Leading Remote Teams programme upskills managers, developing their ability to stay connected while improving team effectiveness and performance.

It’s about leading people, more effectively and more consistently, regardless of how often they work in the same place as their manager. 

The programme incorporates the full Leading Virtually™ programme, developed by Blanchard®. It also includes two bonus modules from industry experts, Redefining Communications and Luminate, to deepen learners’ understanding of how leaders can support their remote team members effectively. The modules are described in more detail below.
