Reduce avoidable variation in how hybrid team management is carried out across teams.
Managing Teams in Hybrid Office and Remote Work Environments
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run hybrid team management properly.
Course Overview
Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in hybrid team management is earned separately. Teams read what their leaders tolerate on the organisational leadership discipline far more accurately than what their leaders announce. The level assumes working familiarity with the management team but no prior formal training in the wider organisational leadership agenda. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of hybrid team management is examined, not just described. Where this aspect of organisational leadership is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The version of this strand of organisational leadership described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. They acquire practical criteria for judging when hybrid team management is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the practice within organisational leadership it covers ends in something applicable. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this aspect of organisational leadership that would make a visible difference.
