Leading Remote Teams 

Like many professionals, you may have suddenly found yourself working on a remote team. To be successful, you need the skills and strategies to lead in a brand new way. Active listening and problem solving are important tasks for remote workers.

Our course on leading remote teams will show you exactly how to facilitate collaboration from a safe distance. You will leave this course with an understanding of:

 

• How to set expectations for your team.
• How to have the hard conversations when something isn't working.
• How to be less of a manager and more of a leader.
• How to hold everybody on your team accountable from afar.

 

If you have found leading a remote team to be difficult, you are not alone. Many leaders have described this transition as one of the hardest things they have done professionally. 

One of the reasons it is so tricky is because it is so new to everyone involved. You don't have the strategies and tools required to lead a remote team, yet! 

After earning this certificate, you will have a plan and a new outlook on managing your team remotely.

 

Learning to Learn

When is the last time you went to school? Or learned something new?
