Leading from a distance

The best of your virtual teams

All people leading remote teams want to keep the team connected, motivated and socialized. We are talking about a broad leadership, not only "hierarchical".

This program will help virtual team leaders to:

1. INTERACT & COMMUNICATE. Ensure the proper use of remote tools, online rules of the game, organization of meetings and communication channels.
2. LISTENING & SUPPORTING. Distanced but connected, open to others, listening with empathy and providing emotional support. Adapt leadership to the style of each one.
3. MOTIVATE & ALIGN. Empower and hold teams accountable, align them around objectives and learn how to generate commitment.

Today we work in virtual teams. How do we achieve results? How do we maintain team interaction and connection? Although we have technology at our disposal, it is not always easy to use it well, nor to interact or communicate in the right way.

Keeping the team motivated, aligned and delivering results is an even bigger challenge in remote. The human being is a social animal and virtual does not have to be synonymous with impersonal.

In these interactive and experiential sessions we will discuss:

Session 1 (4h) - Leading in Online

1. Rules of the online game, tips & organization. Virtual tools, communication and efficient and orderly meetings.
2. Remote social interaction. The importance of socializing and generating connection in the team. Virtual social moments, empathy, building trust and developing relationships.
3. Listening and emotional support in times of change and uncertainty.
4. Best practices in leading remote teams (Do's & Dont's). Difficulties of remote work and how we solve them. Interactive dynamics.
5. Individual commitment to development.

Session 2 (4h) - Leading in DISCtance.

At a distance and in a teleworking context it is relevant to take care of communication, adapting your style to the style of others, showing empathy and building trust and stronger relationships, even more important remotely. The DISC model applied to the team will give us some fundamentals in this sense.

1. Superpowers and connection with every style of person: based on the DISC model preferences.
2. Interactive game "DO's & DON'TS" with each style of person. Exercise: my team wheel + action plan with each member.
3. Powerful questions: learn to hold the team accountable and empower them through the use of powerful questions to generate commitment and alignment. Reinforce purpose.
4. Individual commitment to development.
