Hybrid Leadership

Description

In many organizations, at least some employees work remotely, which means that leadership must also exist in the online environment. During the pandemic, remote working became a new norm, and organizations need to quickly respond to the challenges that arise. In also other ways than making office time mandatory.

Today’s leaders need to respond to the challenge of nurturing the high-quality collaboration and performance of remote teams, and supporting the career development, motivation and engagement of individuals working remotely.
