Managing Virtual Teams (55 minutes)
Working remotely has been on the rise for many years now, with research showing that hiring managers expect nearly half of all their workers to be working remotely over the next decade. While many trends feed into this way of organizing work, managing the work effectively will be key to the success of organizations globally. In this course, instructor Phil Gold provides managers with a clear approach for getting the most out of their remote teams. He zeros in on the key factors that will ensure productivity, engagement, and growth, as well as a manager’s role in building trust, removing roadblocks, nurturing connections with team members, and setting clear goals.
Connecting and Collaborating in a Virtual or Hybrid Workplace (44 minutes)
Communicating effectively is already a difficult—and valuable—skill to master. And now, it’s trickier than ever. Until fairly recently, you mostly had to know how to communicate in person—reading body language, gestures, facial expressions and more—or on a conference call. But now, you also have to know how to communicate with someone you only see on a screen. In this new era of virtual communications, it is essential to train and master the skills of communicating anywhere, on any screen. In this course from genConnectU, leadership coach Jackie Miller shares actionable tools on how to effectively engage with clients, colleagues, and bosses in both virtual and live environments, to an audience of one or many. By learning and mastering Jackie’s lessons, you’ll have tools that can help you manage your professional relationships and improve your executive presence.
Managing Skills for Remote Leaders (1 hour, 12 minutes)
Being an effective manager can be challenging enough in a face-to-face setting, but as more people are shifting to working remotely, managers have to change their mindsets and methods. You can no longer pop over and connect with your team or have impromptu chats. In this course, leadership coach Dr. Mary Jean Vignone teaches how to be the best possible manager in a remote work environment. Mary Jean leverages her two decades of managing virtual teams into a 15-step program that shows how to create a sense of community, build an inclusive culture that spans virtual workspaces, and shares values, goodwill, and ideas. She shows you how to adapt your leadership style and voice to a virtual space, fostering a trusting and supportive environment that sets your remote teams up for success. While a virtual workplace can be a very enriching environment, it won't happen organically. After completing this course, you will be better prepared to navigate this changing work landscape.

The Long-Distance Leader: Rules for Remarkable Remote Leadership
Authors: Kevin Eikenberry, Wayne Turmel
Summary: Leadership First, Locations Second. As more organizations adopt a remote workforce, the challenges of leading at a distance become more urgent than ever. The cofounders of the Remote Leadership Institute, Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel, show leaders how to guide their teams by recalling the foundational principles of leadership whether their teams are scattered globally or just working from home a few days a week. The authors' "Three-O" Model refocuses leaders to think about outcomes, others, and ourselves--elements of leadership that remain unchanged, whether employees are down the hall or halfway around the world. By pairing it with the Remote Leadership Model, which emphasizes using technology as a tool and not a distraction, leaders can navigate the terrain of managing teams wherever they are. Filled with exercises that ensure projects stay on track, keep productivity and morale high, and build lasting relationships, this book is the go-to guide for leading effectively, no matter where people work.
