Leading Teams in a Hybrid Workplace

Program Overview
Build Skills with High-Impact Courses
Communication: Connect Through Conversations
This course highlights to leaders that engaging the “head”—the business outcome of the conversation—is just as
critical as recognizing and addressing the “heart”—people’s
feelings, such as being respected or appreciated. Leaders
will recognize the role of emotional intelligence in successas a leader as they develop foundational leadership skills
that apply to the wide range of workplace situations theymust handle.
Leading Teams: Achieve More Together

Learners apply this new understanding to their workplace
teams and leave the session with a plan for moving forward.

their own behavior influences trust. Building trust is a
gradual process, one interaction at a time. Leaders canbuild (or repair) relationships with the right behaviors todevelop trust and boost job performance.
Ensuring Your Team Avoids Burnout ​The speed of work and ever-increasing demands on
employees’ talents and time can leave them burned out
and, possibly, on their way out. Leaders can pivot toprevent team burnout, but they often won’t know what
to look for or how to address it before it escalates.
Everyday Engagers
People need to feel satisfied with their jobs, but even aleader’s best intentions can’t guarantee that their team istruly engaged. If people feel disconnected, they might not
perform at their best. Evaluating engagement efforts anddemonstrating simple but powerful everyday actions will
help to motivate and engage team members as well as
leaders themselves.
Finding Control During Change
Change can be many things—energizing, confusing,exciting, daunting. One thing is for sure—the element of
the unknown that can leave leaders feeling disoriented,
even lost. When a situation seems out of control, leaders
can make traction through change by identifying areas
they can control, or at least influence.
Leading Teams Virtually
Team members may have never or rarely met in person.
Do they feel isolated, confused, insecure? Do their leaders?
Even with the challenges of working remotely, leaders
can enable their team to achieve optimal performance. By
recognizing the challenges of virtual teams and factors forteam success, leaders can improve how their teams perform.
Leading Virtual Meetings
In today’s global economy, virtual meetings are more
frequent than ever. Whether you need to find an alternative
for a face-to-face meeting or you must regularly communicate
with distributed or remote employees, leading your meetingseffectively—using process and personal techniques—iscritical for team collaboration and decision making.
