Making a Case for Remote Leadership

29 April 2020 - 5-6 p.m. (CEST)
Engaging Teams and Achieving Results With Others in a Virtual World

The way we work together, the roles of physical space and the relationships that develop in that space, have been intimately linked to the technology of the times. Most of our communication is implicit, governed by non spoken rules, whether we refer to accountability, respect, decision making, or the use of power. Our physical space and the resources and tools we use, play a critical role in shaping leadership and organizational culture. It is this implicit communication that allows most decisions in an organization to be hatched outside the meeting rooms. The exponential change we are seeing means in fact that the way we work has changed more in 15 years than it has in the previous century. Yet, leadership has not kept up at the same pace. In a digitized environment, the unspoken ties that physical presence gives meaning to, disappear.

How can we make sure in such a context that leaders do more than connect isolation, but create and inspire virtual communities with an implicit language aligned with the organizational values, such as inclusion, diversity, creativity, fairness?

In this Masterclass, Diana Clarke, affiliate professor of ESCP Business School with 30 years of experience in Executive Development, will explore key leadership dimensions that will be both specific and unique to our unfolding and evolving organizational culture.
