Become an effective distance manager with this 5-day TeleClass, led by Jessica Hartung, CEO of Integrated Work Strategies

o Are your virtual working groups disjointed and uncooperative?

o Are virtual subcultures making communication difficult?

o Is accountability at a distance a problem?

If you work with a virtual group, chances are you've experienced one or more of these challenges. This 5-day Teleclass will help you take the Management and Facilitation of your Virtual/Distributed Team to a new level...

Managing people from a distance isn't easy

This class will discuss managing remote relationships and frameworks for successfully managing projects across large distances. There are issues created by the geographic distance between team members. But those issues can be overcome, and in fact, the potential of a distance team to accomplish amazing feats far outweighs any logistical liabilities. Project development teams scattered around the country or around the globe can take advantage of the best scientific minds, technical skills and subject matter experts...if they can manage the remote relationships effectively. This course will build remote management competencies by providing a framework for success and applying it to real-life examples. The course contains consolidated information packed into a one-day format.

In this training, you will learn to:

1. Build group cohesion, avoiding the "us and them" trap.
2. Establish communication protocols that work for different organizational cultures.
3. Obtain organizational support and resources by creating the connections to larger operational goals.
4. Include group members' individual goals to create a shared purpose that increases commitment.
5. Build a common language for setting goals and project milestones.
6. Clarify roles, responsibilities, and relationships for increased accountability.
7. Collaborate and learn from a community of your peers, all passionate about building and managing virtual teams.
