What you'll learn



This course includes:



Requirements


   The student should either be planning on participating in virtual meetings or have some prior experience with virtual meetings. It will be helpful if the student has already used one of the common meeting software platforms (GoToMeeting, Skype, etc.).


Description


The Covid pandemic forced almost every company to require or encourage remote work. It is becoming increasingly clear that this change in where we do our work is becoming the norm. One of the great miracles of the twenty-first century is the declining importance of borders and distance. The internet has made knowledge universal and is enabling talent to be developed in every corner of the globe and country without prejudice. This means that any company can bring talent together in virtual teams to develop products and plans and accomplish shared goals regardless of their location. But, enabling these teams to work well together is a skill that every manager needs to develop to succeed in the new world of virtual collaboration.


Leading Virtual or Remote Teams is designed to build the skills of virtual collaboration and teamwork. It covers issues around the use of virtual meeting technology, including a comprehensive survey of meeting software, user advice and recommendations. But, the primary focus of this course is on the human side, the skills of facilitating and participating in virtual teams. While it is important for all team leaders and facilitators to develop good meeting facilitation skills, there are unique challenges when team members are not co-located. This course addresses those challenges and provides advice based on the available research and the instructor's many years of experience facilitating virtual meetings.



Who this course is for:


   Anyone who wants to help his or her team be more successful in achieving their goals.

   Leaders or facilitators of virtual teams (any team with remote members).

   Any member of a virtual team who would like to help his or her team be more successful.
