224 - Workshop - Powerful Virtual Leadership: The Importance of Context

Wednesday, December 9th • 1:00pm — 2:00pm PDT

THE PEOPLE YOU LEAD AND YOUR COLLECTIVE FUTURE NEED YOU NOW, MORE THAN EVER. A NEW LEVEL OF LEADERSHIP IS BEING CALLED FORTH. Leading teams in a distributed, virtual environment is different than leading in an in-person environment. Your leadership presence is now all about your virtual presence. Your employees are much more like volunteers now; and as this wears on, some people are getting better and some are falling off. Let John Bates assist you in making sure your leadership presence translates well online. In an unprecedented, uncertain time like this your leadership needs to be emotionally connected - and what got you here won’t get you there, as they say. Your team may have experience working in a distributed matter, but many people are not used to working remotely at all. And, as a leader, this uncertainty along with the massive physical disruption of long established work patterns, means that what you do now will affect everyone’s future, including yours, in an outsized way.
