Building effective teams and teamwork in a face-to-face environment is tough enough. Add remote and distant environments to the mix and the chances for an easy success diminishes.

Working together with a common focus while utilizing their strengths and minimizing the individual weaknesses.
A discussion on effective and ineffective leader styles, and how to behave in a way that encourages positive influence.
Leaders are judged by the results they get. But what does a leader do when they don't get the results they want?
"I want to be a better motivator" is a frequently stated desire I hear from supervisors and managers of all levels. The truth is that these leaders are already powerful motivators for their staff. They are just motivating the staff in the wrong direction - to work against them. Understanding that everyone is already motivated is information that is important for leaders to hold. When a leader accepts this principle it becomes easier to lead in a way that influences positive motivations.
In this talk we will discuss the key leadership behaviors that will result in effective leadership. And we'll review the drastic consequences of the ineffective leader behaviors that frequently occur. We'll look at several actions leaders can take to improve engagement levels within the work environment.
