Leading Hybrid Teams

Home » In-House Workshops » Leading Hybrid Teams

Lead with confidence, no matter the distance.

“Working from home” has often been viewed with suspicion. But organisations like The United Nations Development Programme, Dell and indeed Think Productive have operated almost exclusively remotely for years. We’ve long seen remote working as a flexible, agile competitive advantage.

Now we’re in a world of hybrid working. So, how do you manage people you can’t see – or not all the time? What does “Office Hours” mean? When people have conflicting work and personal priorities, other stuff to do in the day, and varied, flexible remote schedules, how do you make sure that the work gets done? Is high value work even possible when we are infrequently in the same space? What role does tech play in all of this?

Delivered by one of our expert Productivity Ninjas® (all of whom work remotely), this three-hour interactive workshop looks at strategic perspectives as well as practical tools and take-aways, helping you lead a productive, agile, happy and informed hybrid team.

This workshop is for you if:

  • You manage a hybrid or remote team and are struggling with the practicalities — performance, trust, onboarding, knowledge sharing — when people aren’t in the same place at the same time
  • You’re an L&D or HR lead looking for a session specifically for people managers rather than the whole workforce, focused on the strategic and human challenges of leading across distance
  • Your managers are defaulting to micromanagement or over-communication because they’re uncomfortable not being able to see their team, and you want to help them lead with more confidence and trust
  • You want to pair this with the Productivity Ninja’s Guide to Hybrid Working — that session equips individuals, this one equips the leaders who set the tone and culture around them

Relaxed, sharing of views. Friendly informal feel but with lots of very human observations which got me thinking, particularly around the culture of an organisation and how to develop/sustain that remotely.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this workshop suitable for managers who are still figuring out hybrid working?
    Yes. Most managers are still navigating what hybrid means day to day. The workshop gives them practical tools to lead with clarity, fairness and confidence, even when the model is still evolving.
    Do you cover performance management in hybrid teams?
    Yes. We explore how to set clear expectations, avoid proximity bias and create fair, transparent approaches to managing performance when people work in different places.
    Is the workshop relevant for senior leaders as well as line managers?
    Absolutely. Senior leaders gain insight into culture, trust, communication rhythms and how to create organisation-wide consistency. Line managers get practical techniques they can use immediately with their teams.
    Does the session include communication strategies for hybrid work?
    Yes. Communication is a core part of the workshop. We look at channels, clarity, boundaries and how to prevent overload. Managers learn how to create norms that reduce noise and improve alignment.
    Do you cover wellbeing and burnout risk in hybrid teams?
    Yes. We explore how to prevent “always on” culture, how to protect focus time and how to design team agreements that support healthy, sustainable ways of working.
