Ninety percent of project managers have team members who work away from the rest of the team, at least part time. How can L&D professionals help prepare their project managers for the challenges of leading from a distance? In this session, a project team leader will share why leading remote project teams differs from traditional leadership --- and why it doesn't. He'll describe the primary communication challenges virtual project teams face, and the communication technologies all project managers and their teams must master. You'll learn how L&D professionals can help prepare both project managers and team members to work together remotely while maintaining their effectiveness and productivity. Come prepared to share and capture the best practices of developing today's project management professionals. This session was recorded at the ATD 2018 TechKnowledge conference in San Jose, California.
