Leadership in the new hybrid workforce – time for authenticity

Leadership in the new hybrid workforce. Tuesday 25 April 1pm - 2pm

Tuesday 25 April 1pm - 2pm

The pandemic has forced leaders to raise their game. Leading remote teams requires new skills and is harder than leading in the office. This session will show how you can rise to the challenge and stand out from your peers. The interactive session draws on emerging best practice and research, published by Bloomsbury in Jo’s new book ‘Smart Teams’.

What we will cover:

1) Why the pandemic is changing the rules of the game for leaders:

Office based leadership is relatively simple because you can see what is happening and react in real time. Remote leadership forces leaders to be far more deliberate and purposeful about how they lead. Leaders have to double down on 21st century skills: command and control is giving way to influence and persuade. More opportunity, more challenge than ever.
 
The shift to hybrid working is not a temporary shift, it is a paradigm shift.

2) Key challenges which require more deliberate and purposeful leadership:

Communication, Goal Setting, Workload and Performance Management, Motivation, Meeting Management, Collaboration, Creativity and Problem Solving, Influencing People and their Decisions.
