Creating a Virtual Interdependent Team: The Challenges and Importance of Teamwork in the New Normal

OVERVIEW

As a child we are dependent on our family for food, shelter, and social interaction. As a teen and young adult, we want to break away, do our own thing, become independent.

After a while we realize that we need others to succeed, a partner, friends, co-workers, we need them, and they need us – interdependence.

The pandemic has changed the way we do business, measure success, and act as a team. It has shown that working out of home, physical distancing, and working independently may be part of the path forward.
But, as we have learned in life, can we remain independent?

This webinar focuses on how to create an interdependence in a changed business world where virtual teams are the New Normal.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

As the world we work and live in continually evolves, so must we. It is a challenge – the world of Sept 2019 is gone, the current environment is dynamic, and what our organization will look like 5 months from now is unknown.

By embracing some of the recent changes (virtual teams) and reinforcing the importance of being a team (interdependence) we provide a perception of being in control, minimizing any fear or doubt by our team members.
