Remote leadership training for leaders and leadership teams:
Rituals and communication norms: agreements for working together across distance
Trust and psychological safety: built deliberately without shared physical presence
Expectations, roles and availability: clear agreements within the team
Hybrid fairness: equal conditions for on-site and remote team members
Remote leadership
Leadership that holds across distance.
Remote and hybrid work has become normal. Leading remotely is something few of us were ever taught. Trust, connection and clarity emerge across distance through leadership that shapes them deliberately.
The problem with leading remote teams
Distance removes the incidental signals leadership usually relies on: hallway talk, a quick glance, the spontaneous conversation. What remains are meetings and chat. This produces teams that deliver but whose engagement declines, and leaders who swing between too much control and too little overview.
The offer
1:1 coaching for remote leaders: we work on your daily leadership reality at a distance and your concrete situations.
Team formats: when the whole team needs new norms, we work with the team directly.
Half-day to multi-day On site or remote English & German
Why me
Remote leadership is something I know from my own practice. At TU Wien I researched New Work and flexible work models.
At refurbed, as Head of PE, OE & HRBP, I helped shape the shift to a successful remote-first organization with a team of 250+. At the Jüdisches Berufliches Bildungszentrum (JBBZ) I moved an entire institution from classroom teaching to remote. Research, first-hand leadership practice and psychology: that combination is the training.
Voices
“Alessandro is the person I go to when I get stuck on a problem, or when I feel I need another brain to think certain things through. He’s always so patient and loves to help. He’s also the one person who will know new tools or innovations that are out there to make life easier.”
“Alessandro always keeps the bigger picture in mind and considers different possible outcomes. He proactively identifies potential benefits and risks, shares them with others, and encourages the team to think in the same way. Additionally, he works in a highly fact-based manner, drawing on data and research, and applies this knowledge efficiently.”

FAQ
What is remote leadership?
Leading people who do not share a location: fully remote or hybrid. It differs substantially from co-located leadership in communication, trust-building and steering, and it can be learned.
Does the training itself work remotely?
Yes, deliberately so: a remote training demonstrates the methods in their real medium. In-person formats, for example as part of an offsite, work just as well.
We are hybrid, not fully remote. Does this apply?
Especially then. Hybrid setups require leading two different ways of working at the same time. The training treats hybrid fairness as a topic of its own.
Who is this for?
Leaders, leadership teams and organizations that work distributed: from team lead to executive level. No prior knowledge needed.
How long does it take?
From a half-day workshop to a multi-part program with implementation phases. What fits depends on your starting point and goal. We’ll work that out together in a free, no-obligation intro call.
