| Leading Remote Teams |
Leading Remote TeamsGuide your team towards (remote) success and build your confidence in leading a remote team with our four-week course. £199 Programme informationTwo thirds of the social sector have adopted a hybrid approach to the working environment in 2021. This is a double-edged sword - there are great benefits from having a more remote and distributed team, but how do you lead and manage a team you no longer see frequently in person? Don’t panic, there are organisations who have been doing this for years. Over the course of four weeks, we will share the pitfalls, top tips and what success looks like when you lead a remote team. Please note, this course is not about the technical side of remote working but will give you the knowledge and skills to lead a remote team confidently. Course Detail
Course Features
What to expectSelf-directed learningLearning throughout the course will be self-directed, meaning that, while we'll nudge you to think critically about your skills, it is your brain that will do the heavy lifting - not ours. As with most things, the more you put in, the more you’ll get out. Strong peer networksYou’ll learn alongside a group of peers who will support, challenge, and inspire you. You will emerge with a powerful peer network of changemakers ready to take on today's remote challenges. Live ClassroomsYou will have access to two Live Classrooms, taking place at set dates and times you will be informed of in advance. Here you'll come together with your peers and a facilitator to discuss, debate, and reflect on your learning. Fitting your scheduleThe programme will take place exclusively online over the span of four weeks. It is designed to fit around and complement your day-to-day work and will require an approximate time commitment of two-four hours per week.

What you'll learnAll Clore Social courses are based on our Leadership Development Model (below), our unique approach to leadership development gathered from ten years of working with leading coaches and trainers in the field. Know Yourself, Be Yourself, Look After YourselfLeadership development must start with self-awareness. The most successful leaders critically assess their strengths, weaknesses, motivations and values. Leadership is tough, so it is also important for leaders to build physical and emotional resilience, and look after their own wellbeing so they can respond effectively to leadership challenges.

We live in a dynamic world that is transforming our workplaces, politics, ethics and communities. To meet these demands, social leaders need to understand the complexities of changing systems. They must also be aware of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead to steer their teams and organisations, and make the most of what these changes offer.

Social skills and empathy are required to inspire, motivate and empower others, whilst respecting diversity and celebrating the power that difference brings. Working with and through others involves collaborating, forming partnerships, as well as inspiring and growing other leaders, all while making a positive social impact.
