Many, if not all, teams have a global element. In a recent research study*, project and program managers surveyed reported that on average 75% of teams have some virtual team members. Many reported that they will never meet in person for the duration of the project. Leading virtual teams requires specific strategies to be most effective! In this fast-paced, practical workshop, six strategies and multiple techniques will be shared for immediate application and results.
