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.
