Distributed Leadership Program for Leading Remote/Hybrid Teams
Since the iPhone was born in 2007, we have been drifting toward a digital universe where we live more online than in person. In March 2020, everyone on Earth shared the same experience of going into a worldwide lockdown, which sped up the process of going virtual overnight. In the post-pandemic world of today, 27% of U.S. employees work remotely. There are expected to be 36.2 million American employees working remotely by 2025. 40% of remote workers believe they’ve been more productive while working at home than at the office. 16% of U.S. companies are fully remote. (Research by Zippia, The Career Expert, 2023.) With every digital transformation, we must rethink how things translate to a virtual workplace. How do we rethink leadership if the hybrid/remote team is here to stay? LEARN MORE... SEE THE FULL PROGRAM
