Effective leadership involves overcoming resistance to change.  Trust is necessary for bringing about change, and for promoting collaboration in teams, especially in those situations that demand creativity, innovation, and the delivery of intellectual products.  However, working remotely and connecting virtually presents major challenges for developing trust, and therefore, to creating change.

During this webcast, Dr. Harrison will discuss:
  • The 3 types of trust and their importance in the lifecycle of leadership
  • Techniques for enriching trust within your team
  • Developing trust signals, especially in narrow media channels (such as virtual or remote work)
