Managing a virtual team is considered to be one of the toughest tasks in today’s organisations and many of these teams are seen to fail. In addition to the usual challenges of managing a diverse group of individuals, the manager of a virtual team is faced with further challenges including different time zones, shifting team membership, managing at a distance, lack of time and the use of communication technology. Virtual team managers require support to acquire the specific knowledge and skills they need to enhance their traditional leadership competencies.
Modern technology has made these remote working scenarios much more prevalent. However, this has thrown up new problems for leaders who need to be able to adapt to new ways of working and manage a team that they rarely see in person.In response to the growing complexity of virtual teams within organisations, LPC training has developed Managing Virtual Team training course.
