Leading Remotely: The Keys to Being a Long-Distance LeaderBizLibrary
The reality of being a leader in the working world today means that all those you lead likely won’t be down the hall or in the next cubicle. Each day technologies allow more people to lead teams far from where they are, or even for people to work from home one or more days a week. While there are opportunities gained, this reality creates tremendous productivity and leadership challenges.

Soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and relationship building are becoming increasingly important for workforces. While employees may have strong technical skills, many lack soft skills like teamwork, leadership, and communication. This can create a "soft skills gap" where organizations are unable to fully capitalize on their employees' expertise. In order to close this gap, companies should evaluate employees' interpersonal skills and encourage soft skills development through training programs focused on listening, conflict resolution, and relationship building. A proposed 30-hour soft skills enhancement program would address this need through activity-based workshops or regular sessions using multimedia and interactions.
The document discusses 15 leadership skills for career success. It outlines skills such as empowering employees, being selfless, thinking critically and creatively, making quick decisions, developing more leaders, embracing humor, leading through change, embracing versatility, leading through influence rather than authority, developing trust, taking initiatives, attentive listening, raising emotional intelligence, being resilient, and bouncing back from mistakes. Mastering these skills can help one become an inspiration to others and achieve career success as a leader.
Employability skills are the non-technical skills, knowledge and understandings that are necessary to gain employment and participate effectively in the workplace. Often referred to as soft skills.

Managing projects effectively has become essential in every organisation large or small. The uncertainties of the world business economy, rapidly changing technology, and the intensifying focus on sustainability has driven many organisations to develop specific methods for managing projects and to seek highly qualified and competent people to manage those projects. These driving factors require today’s project managers to accept and adapt to change, lead diverse teams, act as ambassadors for their organisations and deal with a multitude of challenging project stakeholders.
It is clear that Project managers are placed in a unique position. They must balance their roles as leader and manager, interface with multiple types of stakeholders, are often the "face" of their organisation to its customers, and must deal with a seemingly unending stream of challenges to be successful. These challenges and the ability to address them require the project manager to maintain awareness of personal brand of and the impact it will have on project assignments, career opportunity, and the willingness of project teams to work for and support the project manager. As the profession of project management evolves and the demand for competent and value driven project managers increases, personal brand and reputation have become major factors in the criteria used to select and assign people to project leadership positions.
Indispensable Factors
The project manager must develop skills and competencies in several areas to be considered for an assign. In addition there are 4 major factors a project manager must address and continue to develop:
Accomplishability: your ability to achieve and deliver valued results.
Value/cost: the value delivered perception relative to the cost.
Supply/Demand: the market dynamics of your position, skills, etc.
Likeability: how others perceive you.
This presentation addresses the importance of the professional project manager in today’s business environment and the need for the project manager to continually enhance existing skills, adapt to a changing environment, and become a “go to” person in the organisation. Emphasis is placed on understanding the business needs of an organisation, clearly and visibly creating value from a client and supplier view point, and continually developing and managing personal brand.
An ideal candidate for many job openings has a combination of both hard and soft skills. While hard skills can get a person an interview, soft skills are what help a person land the job. Applicants with years of experience and education may have the necessary hard skills but lack soft skills like leadership, self-motivation, and ability to perform well. Having a balance of hard and soft skills helps one compete for jobs in a tight market. Soft skills are as essential as technical skills to be successful in any profession.

This document provides an overview of the DiSC assessment tool. It describes DiSC as a snapshot of preferences that helps understand strengths and limitations for building relationships, but is not meant to label people. The four DiSC preferences - Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness - each have different motivations and potential limitations. The document encourages using DiSC to communicate more effectively while meeting others' needs, rather than labeling people.
Each of the four unique DiSC styles responds differently when faced with conflict.
The better you know how your employees or coworkers will respond to conflict, the better prepared you will be to resolve it.

Trello is a collaboration tool that allows users to organize projects into boards. Boards contain lists where cards with information can be added and rearranged as tasks are worked on. Users can comment and attach files to cards to share updates and files with team members working on a project.
One of Chicago's largest candy manufacturers called upon CLI to develop a two-day leadership "academy" which would allow managers and supervisors to move from "good" management practices to "great" management practices.
1. Be tactical: Create an expectation that you will add a certain number of people to your network each quarter.
2. Reach out: An email is a good way to arrange a meeting, but can be easily ignored. Think about a phone call, or stopping by the person’s desk-all more personal ways of requesting a meeting.
3. Make networking a two-way street: Look at networking, as a way of helping others, be an extra pair of hands, offer advice or even expertise. Many people expand their network by volunteering for interesting projects, another way to develop skills as well as relationships.
4. Ask to meet, share a lunch, a quick cup of coffee or even a phone meeting: Let your curiosity guide you! Find out what motivates your interviewee, how they have navigated their career path, and how their functional area operates.
5. Seek to understand the other: what are the needs, role and work realities of the person you want to meet with?
6. Focus on finding people that are relevant to you: You can learn a lot by connecting with people who are a value-add to your current work and functional area. Take the time to think about which connections would be more relevant and useful for your work. And think about variety-and working outside your functional area to connect across your organization.
7. Make a habit of introducing people: To increase information flow, be that person who connects people together.
8. Keep your networking meetings short and organized: Consider creating a short agenda, or writing your questions down, and be sensitive to the time limits of the other person.
9. Don’t feel bad if you are turned down: Everyone is busy, perhaps there will be a time in the future to connect.
10. Follow-up: If you made a commitment during your networking meeting, be sure to follow up and do what you said you would do.

Using Soft Skills to Make Your Hard Skills Shine

3. Soft Skills Matter
To get, and keep, a job you typically need a repertoire of
technical skills. Dentists need to know how to fill cavities.
Secretaries need to type 100+ words per minute.
Accountants need to be certified.
Beyond the technical skills, though, which dentist do you go to? The
one who is pleasant and takes time to answer your questions, or the
one who treats you like a number in a long line of mouths?
Which secretary do you retain when times are lean? The one whose
attitude is positive, upbeat, and is always willing to help, or the one
who is inflexible and has a hard time admitting mistakes?
Likewise, think about accountants. The one who has a great work ethic
and encourages his colleagues is the one who will, most likely, excel in
his position and organization.
4. Soft Skills Matter
In these situations, and all the others like them, it's the soft skills
that matter.
While your technical skills may get your foot in the door, your
people skills are what open most of the doors to come.
Your work ethic, your attitude, your communication skills, your
emotional intelligence and a whole host of other personal
attributes are the soft skills that are crucial for career success.
Problem solving, delegating, motivating, and team building are
all much easier if you have good soft skills. Knowing how to get
along with people— and displaying a positive attitude—are
crucial for success.
5. Soft Skills Matter
The problem is, the importance of these soft skills is often
undervalued, and there is far less training provided for them than
hard skills. Organizations tend to assume that everyone knows
and understands the importance of being on time, taking
initiative, being friendly, and producing high quality work.
Assuming that soft skills are universal leads to much frustration,
so it is important to focus as much on soft skills training and
development as you do on traditional hard skills.
6. Do You Have a Soft Skills Gap?
When your workforce has lots of technical skills but an absence
of soft skills, you have a soft skills gap. Soft skills are what
accompany the hard skills, and help your organization use its
technical expertise to full advantage.
• If you're really good at getting clients, and not so good at
retaining them, chances are you have a soft skills gap.
• If you have lots of staff turnover and have to keep retraining
people, chances are you have a soft skills gap.
• When you have lots of managers but no real leaders, that's a
soft skills gap.
7. Evolution of the Workplace
The workplace has developed an interpersonal dynamic
that can't be ignored.
The acts of listening, presenting ideas, resolving conflict,
and fostering an open and honest work environment all
come down to knowing how to build and maintain
relationships with people.
It's those relationships that allow people to participate
fully in team projects, show appreciation for others, and
enlist support for their projects.
8. Areas to Evaluate
It's important for you to recognize the vital role soft skills play
within your team and not only work on developing them within
yourself, but encourage their development throughout the
organization. Areas to examine and evaluate include:
• Personal accountability
• The degree of collaboration
• Interpersonal negotiation skills
• Conflict resolution
• People's adaptability and flexibility
• The clarity of communications
• Creative thinking
• Inclusion
• Coaching and mentoring
9. Key Points
Soft skills are increasingly becoming the hard skills of today's
work force. It's just not enough to be highly trained in technical
skills, without developing the softer, interpersonal and
relationship-building skills that help people to communicate and
collaborate effectively.
These people skills are more critical than ever as organizations
struggle to find meaningful ways to remain competitive and be
productive.
Teamwork, leadership, and communication are underpinned by
soft skills development.
Since each is an essential element for organizational and
personal success, developing these skills is very important and
does matter… a lot!
10. Questions to Ponder:
1. How can developing soft skills help you
develop your career as a leader?
2. What soft skills would be useful for you?
3. How will you develop these skills?
