💡 Have you ever gotten an email that knocked you out for few minutes, keeping you wondering, who of your colleagues is an alien?

In the webinar, we will discuss the rules and good practice of healthy and clear remote communication. We will inspire the effectiveness of your own connection with team members and supervisors.

About the Leaders in Digital Era series

The idea was developed based on lessons learnt from the Digital Literacy Bootcamp devoted to digital transformation in microfinance.

Digitalize or die – offering services online is no longer an alternative for MFIs; it is the way as people all over the world change their preferences towards any type of brand and sector. However, today’s leaders must manage not only an organization that undergoes a digital transformation.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic boosted the fact that more and more employees work remotely. They have been suddenly forced to deal with work challenges in a time of volatility, anxiety, fast changing circumstances and many uncontrolled risks. Thus, the leaders manage people that live in a VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous). They manage virtual teams that often consist of three generations (X, Y, Z) with varying skills and attitudes.

This requires leaders to make sure they improve skills like emotional intelligence, managing generational differences, and building an organizational culture that embraces fast changing consumers’ preferences and fashion, driven by accelerating technology.
