Managing remote and virtual teams

Duration: 39 minutes

Overview: This course is about managing remote and virtual teams - workers or employees who are not physically located in the same space as their managers or leaders. This topic examines four key rules for successful remote team management which in turn improves overall teamwork. First, building trust with remote and flexible workers. We then examine how to help remote teams remove roadblocks and how to build connections for remote workers. Finally, we examine tips to improve communication for remote teams.
