Online Training for Virtual Management
and Virtual Teams
"You can have a highly productive and collaborative team regardless of where everyone is located."
Remote management is not radically different from managing people on-site: it requires the performance of basic management skills such as goal setting, assessing progress, giving regular feedback, and maintaining frequent, ongoing communication. However, while telecommuting and mobile work provide tremendous benefits to any organization, leading remote employees and managing virtually have some unique challenges.
The difference is a shift in management style and the use of appropriate technology. The whole organization benefits through adjustments like learning to manage by results rather than activity, and by focusing on improving communication and nurturing trust between managers and employees.
This workshop, taught by Phil and Jason Montero, focuses on learning to rely less on "eyeball" management and mastering techniques for improving communication to keep on and off-site team members connected.
Managers will learn how to evaluate the best technology to help their team collaborate across time and distance, as well as strategies for both real-time and ‘off-line’ document and project collaboration. These tools, along with the proper management techniques we teach, will ensure that virtual teams keep on top of projects, improve communication, and stay motivated and on schedule.
