Virtual Leadership: Practical Tips to Build, Engage and Manage Remote Teams
OVERVIEW
Virtual team is the new reality of 21st century workplace. Owing
to the increasing competition in the marketplace, decentralization and
globalization of work processes and advances in information and communication
technologies, companies, to remain competitive, require flexibility and agility
in their delivery of products and services.
Virtual teams play a key role to meet these demands. Also, these
companies are adopting the virtual team approach to reduce their operating
costs, encourage knowledge sharing among their employees to promote
organizational learning and expand their business hours to 24/7.
Unfortunately, having solid business reasons for implementing a
virtual strategy does not mean that strategy is always going to be executed
well. The problem is that too many companies lack the ability to manage remote
teams and treat their virtual teams the same way they treat teams that share
the same physical locations.
In other words, virtual teams may be increasingly popular...but
they're not necessarily successful. Large number of HR practitioners as well as
organizational leaders has come to realize that virtual teams are different
from traditional teams. They now must shift their attention towards devising
and utilizing new tools and techniques to manage the unique challenges posed by
virtual and dispersed teams.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Many companies recycle the same guidelines and best practices
they use for their co-located teams and hope for the best. That just doesn't
work. Virtual teams and face-to-face teams are the proverbial 'apples and
oranges' – and leaders who recognize this fact are the ones whose teams
succeed.
Virtual teams regularly fall victim to four pitfalls:
- Lack of clear goals, direction, or priorities – Because
it is tougher to communicate with team members who are geographically
dispersed, it is often difficult to keep all team members focused on the
same goals, especially over time.
- Lack of clear roles among team members– In virtual
teams, it is especially important for members to clearly understand their
individual roles and how their work impacts other team members.
- Lack of cooperation and trust – Because there’s limited
or no face-to-face contact the process of establishing trust and
relationships that lead to group cooperation will be more difficult and
can lead to a silo mentality.
- Lack of engagement – With virtual teams, people can
easily become bored and "check out" because there is a lack of
dynamic face-to-face interaction and because there are more distractions.
Also, research has shown that the leadership style of the team
or project leader has greater effects on the productivity of virtual teams as
compared to that on the traditional collocated teams. It’s important for all
the virtual team leaders or managers to revisit their leadership approach and,
if required, enrol for managing remote employees training.
