Leading Virtual Teams

We have all been adjusting to a new reality for our teams, and part of this has been learning to work in new ways. This may mean that you and your team are now working virtually or some of your team may be working from the office and others may be virtual. The concepts shared not only highlight how to support virtual teams now but on-going as you work across locations. Additionally, woven through the discussion are insights on how you can manage this change of shifting to working virtually, as well as managing future change processes that you and your team may face throughout your growth.
