There is a lot that is new for managers in these challenging times. Suddenly, everyone has become a Remote Manager and is expected to manage Remote Teams.  Most managers find managing remote employees more difficult than managing a local team. Based on our internal Lenovo research, interviews with managers whose teams identify them as excellent remote managers and extensive training experience on remote management, this session will offer you practical techniques for being an effective remote manager and includes:

• Tools and techniques from successful remote managers (as chosen by their team members and colleagues)
  
• Practical aspects: dealing with low interaction, building trust, getting work done, running performance reviews, developing remote team members, driving engagement, and other practical topics
  
• Research into managing remote teams and being remotely managed, statistics that show what employees need
  
• Material adjusted for COVID-19 times
