MANAGING REMOTE TEAMS (2 day) Remote teams and remote
workers have always been a feature of organisational life but the growth in
electronic communications and national and international trade have increased
this form of team working. Where employees
are not within the day-to-day observation of their manager and are beyond
easy access different working arrangements and people issues arise. Managing
in this situation requires a different and more innovative approach than more
conventional working arrangements. This course aims
to explore the issues involved and provide managers with insight and
understanding so that they can more effectively manage their own remote teams. Content: Types of remote teams - local, national, international,
home-workers etc The importance of setting objectives and delegating authority Defining timescales and the importance of keeping to deadlines Setting good performance targets to achieve results Choosing the right people for a remote team The necessity of dealing effectively with different cultures Choosing the most appropriate means of communication and using
them effectively Using business meetings to keep in touch and maintain control Building a sense of belonging amongst team members - the
importance of social interaction Motivating team members; using personality profiling Using an appropriate leadership style for remote teams Method: The course will
be interactive with a practical approach where participants will be
encouraged to consider their own situations in the light of what is
presented. Case studies and exercises will be used to bring out the various
topics and to give participants practise in dealing with these. Participants
will be encouraged to produce action plans for implementation on their return
to work. |
