Learn to be a better manager for your remote teams. Develop the dynamics and collaboration of your virtual team while avoiding the classic pitfalls.

Globalization and mobility have made virtual work a new reality in our organizations. The challenges and potential pitfalls of virtually managing a team are the same as managing an in-house team yet the distance increases the complexity and the risk of misunderstandings. Exercising your leadership efficiently without seeing your employees daily requires tweaking and developing certain competencies as well as a mixture of discipline, trust, openness and a collaborative mindset.
