Becoming a better team leader requires having candid conversations about what is and isn’t working, viewing trust as a must-have resource, and insisting on behaviors that support collaborative principles. With intentional effort, team leaders can improve virtual collaboration across the organization and build stronger, more cohesive teams, even if they’re not co-located. Additionally, organizations that are looking to enhance their teams’ collaboration skills and to build more trusting cultures can equip their people managers with the skills they need to succeed by offering them access to development, such as our research-based skills team leader training programs, available either online or in-person.
