Description

Managing multiple locations and their regional/territory teams requires a unique set of leadership skills and strategies. Join us to learn five key practices of how to lead from a distance effectively. Drawing from our recent national retail industry research study, we will explore the leading practices learned from surveys, interviews, and observations of some of the most productive and profitable multiunit managers on the planet.

During this highly engaging session, you’ll learn the specific leadership behaviors your multiunit managers need to adopt to get results, even when they’re not physically able to be in each location. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with others who face similar challenges, whether in retail, hospitality, banking, or other industries.

Discover the secrets of the world’s most successful retail multiunit managers! You’ll take away practical tools and techniques your district and regional managers can immediately apply to increase their effectiveness in all aspects of the job, from conducting effective onsite visits to motivating sales teams and inspiring store managers.

You’ll learn strategies for:

  • Understanding the multiple roles a multiunit leader needs to play
  • Communicating more effectively, both virtually and in person
  • Using technology most productively
  • Influencing internal partners as part of a strategic leadership approach
  • Maximizing the impact of in-person time

Who should attend:  C-level execs, District Managers, Regional Managers & VPs, Branch Managers and all managers of multiple-unit operations and distributed workforces, whether retail or not.  CLOs, Training Directors, Instructional Designers, Training Specialists and Course Developers.
