Global and dispersed teams come with unique challenges. Yet they also offer broad functional expertise and the benefits of vast, international diversity. How can you distinguish your performance as a member or leader of these teams? In this session, you'll learn behavioral Do's and Don'ts that can either foster or corrode a culture of collaboration and trust - and strategies to help you reduce "social distance." You'll learn to set the example by structuring meeting inclusively and steering your team's collective focus toward objectives.
 
Learning Objectives:
-  Recognize vulnerabilities specific to remote teams.
- Describe how to build-in deliberate moments of social cohesion and create bonding even when teams are not collocated.
- Redirect team discussion and participation - or a lack thereof - toward shared goals.

Steve Matley, Business Owner, Project Manager and Speaker, will lead our online program.
 
"This conversation is about the negotiation for the rest of us who are not high level corporate attorneys, international hostage negations or working for the State Department.
 
It is how we negotiate daily in our businesses, purchasing items and even in our relationships with ordinary people to get what we need without having to crush or take advantage of others in the process." Steve Matley
 
Steve is the Program Chair, Undergraduate & Graduate Construction Management of NewSchool of Architecture & Design.  He has over 25 years of experience in leadership and management in multiple industries. His business management and project management experience was cultivated in real estate, land development, and construction, involving commercial, institutional, residential and public works projects.
