Remote Team and Virtual Team Training / Onsite Workshop

Managing Global Performance Training

Description:
To be successful, global managers must learn how to gain top performance with remote team members of different cultures. This  includes gaining insight to culture’s effect on planning, taking initiative, teamwork and change. Key results from the most comprehensive study on effective leadership around the world will show how to recognize and bridge key differences among Asians, Europeans and Americans. Case studies and discussions on managing global performance produce the examples and action steps to apply immediately to planning, teambuilding, communication, motivation and leading change.

Outline:

• New Perspectives for Global Managers: Gain tools for a current global management challenge you face during this workshop and the follow-on coaching session (included). Prepare for future possibilities when managing across distance, time zones, and cultures. Receive summarized results from GLOBE, a new 10-year study on effective leadership around the world, with strategies to bridge key differences among Asians, Europeans and Americans..
   
• Managing Performance – Individuals and Teams: Learn intercultural strategies for setting goals, planning, gaining commitments and accountability when there are different perceptions of time and urgency. Encourage innovation, initiative and risk-taking among differing perceptions of “following rules”. Build relationships and trust among remote employees. See the cultural-fit for rewards and recognition that truly motivate employees.
   
• Communication – Virtual and Across Cultures: Select the right technology (teleconference, IM, collaborative platforms, etc.) for the culture and type of communication. Learn communication strategies to give feedback that sends the right message in different cultural settings. Learn best practices for Email and team meetings (face-to-face, teleconference, and Net meetings.)
   
• Culture and Values – Key Performance Drivers: With an online tool, reveal individual values to improve your ability to communicate, manage and lead. Consciously bring your strengths to reach goals and reduce the habits that impair performance. On the flip-side, identifying values least important to you will show potential blind spots when managing others.

Gain insight to various cultural attitudes toward change that can help or hinder the next initiative you lead. Leverage the role of loyalty and trust in supporting change.
