Building Effective Hybrid Teams

22 Lessons Intermediate

About this course

Everywhere you look, the picture is clear. The future of work will include hybrid teams. While there is much we have learned about building and leading teams, there are critical differences that must be accounted for and acted on when not all of your team is working in the same place every day.

In this Master Class, you will learn what those differences are and what you can do as a leader – and a teammate – to create better relationships, communication, trust, and results on your hybrid team.
