Intermediate Essentials: Managing Remotely and Effectively Leading Your Team From Anywhere

Course Modules and Webinar Include: 

• Managing Remote Teams: Communication (9 min) It is rare for entire teams to exist in a single geographic location. The colleagues we work with and rely on each day can be widely dispersed—across offices and even across time zones. Managing teams of this nature introduces a unique set of challenges. In this module we'll examine and hone in on one of the most critical and often one of the most challenging aspects of leading remote teams: communication.
• Leading a Hybrid Team – Part 1: Meetings and Communications (10 min) In many ways leading a hybrid team is different than leading a team that works entirely in the office or entirely remote. The playing field may not be level. There can be uncertainty—and blind spots—around how things work. Leaders can inadvertently send messages they don't intend—around who's important to them and who isn't—or what's important and what isn't. In a hybrid team the role of the leader is amplified. In this module, the first in a two-part series, we'll explore meetings and communication within your hybrid team.
• Leading a Hybrid Team – Part 2: Assignments and Performance Management (12 min) As a leader you set the tone for how the team communicates, how decisions are made, how performance is managed, and ultimately how included, valued, and engaged members of your team feel. With some people working in the office and others working remotely, some of your management approaches will need to shift so you can maximize the success and engagement of your hybrid team. In this module, the second in a two-part series, we'll explore some potential shifts around making assignments and managing performance.
• Ten Timeless Tips for Team Leaders (11 min) When members of a firm work together as a cohesive team—whether formal or informal—we all realize considerable benefits. When a team does not function effectively it can have a significant detrimental effect on just about everything. The good news is as a team leader you have the ability to make a substantial impact on the effectiveness and overall success of your team. In this module we explore how you can be an effective team leader and inspire members of your team to succeed.
• Maximize the Success and Engagement of Your Hybrid Team: Setting the Stage for Success (12 min) In this module we meet Charlie. He is leading a new hybrid team in which members of his team will have the flexibility to work from the office or work remotely. While he has successfully led teams in the office and remote teams, he has a sense that leading a hybrid team will be different than his previous experiences. While there are many benefits to working hybrid he realizes there will be challenges too. How can Charlie maximize the success and engagement of his hybrid team? And how can you? In this module we explore five strategies for leading a hybrid team.
• Five Fundamentals for Supervising Remote Workers (8 min) Remote work is becoming increasingly popular and accepted across the legal industry and beyond. The colleagues we work with and rely on each day can be located just about anywhere. And while working remotely can offer many benefits, and may sometimes even be a necessity, it can also introduce a unique set of challenges. In this module we’ll explore the top five fundamentals supervisors can apply to make remote work a success—for them, for their direct reports, and for the firm and its clients.
