With Dr. Susan Strauss, Harassment, Discrimination, and Bullying Consultant, Tuesday, April 7, 2020 1:00 – 2:00 (EDT)
Accomplishing work in the new millennium has become synonymous with Virtual Leadership. The current competitive business environment and the changing nature of work and the workforce requires effective leadership that spans the boundaries of time and space to help employees to work together—apart.
Leadership of virtual teams is not the same as leadership of face-to-face, co-located teams, explains harassment, discrimination, and bullying consultant, Dr. Susan Strauss. Leading a virtual team is more difficult; it requires a dynamic interaction between technological systems and human systems that the virtual leader has to address and balance for work to be accomplished.
Susan discusses the tools and techniques firm leadership needs to facilitate “working together apart” in virtual environment. In this podcast, you will learn how to:
- Define essential competencies of leadership in virtual environment
- Plan for four essentials for virtual teamwork
- Identify best characteristics of virtual team/employee
- Recognize the tips for effective virtual meetings
