How To Build A Productive Remote Team

FORMAT - 1/2 Day Foundations  Seminar + 4 Deep Dive Sessions

It's ok to be a manager of a remote team, but it's even better to be a manager of a productive remote team.  

Unfortunately a cohesive team isn't necessarily a productive team. 

More needs to be in place to have your remote team ticking over like the finely tuned engine of a high performance luxury car, however well they get on.

To do that you need to create a an environment of productive performance and a culture of effectiveness and efficiency.

And then you'll have to nurture that to sustain the progress and results your remote team will undoubtedly achieve.

In "How To Build A Productive Remote Team", you'll discover how to create the right environment for your remote team members to get and stay engaged and then to thrive in achieving the results you want them to.

You'll discover what motivates your team (spoiler alert - it's not you!).

Following the model of our other seminars, you'll attend a half day session to set you up for creating the right environment for your team.

Then you'll attend deep dive session a week for four weeks to provide you with more effective behaviours to help you guide your remote team to even higher levels of productivity.

Topics covered include:

• Principles of peak performance.
• Understanding the neuroscience of productivity.
• Developing a coaching mindset to get the best out of people.
• What motivates people to give of their best (and it isn't what you probably think!).
• Team productivity strategies.
• How to promote and develop strong collaboration between people who've never met.
• The importance of communication (including what to say, how often and when).
• How to track your team's performance.
• The importance of building trust.
• How to effectively delegate.
• The principle of "Leader as Servant" and how it applies to remote teams.
