Leading Virtually: Accelerating Leader Readiness

Assessing and Developing Virtual Leadership Capabilities

If creating a cohesive and productive team wasn’t tough enough already, the need to do so remotely has made it even harder.

Suddenly, leaders who may still be wrestling with the transition to leadership in general, have been thrust into new and unfamiliar virtual leadership roles. Gone are the in-person interactions, spontaneous encounters, body language cues, and ability to easily see and adjust to others’ reactions and perspectives in traditional work settings that foster understanding and trust among team members. Leaders must now rely on imperfect communication technology channels, often leading to errors and misunderstandings.

It’s no wonder a seminal MIT Sloan survey of global business team effectiveness, reliant on virtual leadership, found just 18% of teams rating their performance as “highly successful. ”How are leaders expected to adequately encourage and boost employee collaboration, foster trust, and hold team members accountable when everyone is working remotely?

Most importantly, how do you know which leaders have the capacity or readiness to lead effectively virtually? And for leaders who are predictably struggling in this new virtual era, how can you deliver the crucial development they need?
