DLN: Leading Collaborative Meetings in a Virtual World

About This Course

Virtual meetings have become the new normal and will forever change the way some teams interact. However, if collaboration is the true belief system of the organization, both individuals and teams will transfer the 'brick-and-mortar' practices to the virtual world. Successful teams understand the importance of setting norms, having clearly defined outcomes, creating space for balanced talk, embracing cognitive conflict, and reflecting on the functioning and learning of the team. Learners will be presented with content in the form of slides, articles, websites, and videos and will be assessed through reflection, short answer questions, matching, and multiple choice. Participants are encouraged to implement the learning and to submit samples of competency.

In this course, you will:

• Define and apply collaborative leadership practices
• Establish and evaluate team norms that promote high expectations, accountability, and effective collaboration
• Design virtual meetings with clear outcomes and structured agendas 
• Use intentional language and communication strategies to strengthen productive talk, active listening, and cognitive conflict within teams
• Engage in reflection and goal setting to improve team functioning
