تفاصيل الدورة

Virtual teams are the future.

If you manage a virtual team today, then you'll probably continue to do so for the rest of your career.

If you don't, then you probably will in the next 5 years.

Learning how to manage people you don't see face-to-face is an important skill that you need regardless of what industry you're in.

With "Managing & Influencing Virtual Teams," you will learn the psychological secrets of persuasion and communication that influence your virtual team members to do what you need them to do.

The course will also help you increase the level of trust and accountability among your team members, while reducing the time you spend on frustrating meetings, useless technology tools, and back-and-forth emails.

At the end of each lecture in the course, you'll get specific, actionable steps that you can implement immediately.

In addition, you'll also get downloadable sample scripts and templates that you can simply copy & paste and use with your own virtual team.

The course contains the following sections:

- The Psychology of Communication in Virtual Teams: Psychological strategies to effectively communicate with your team and reduce ambiguity and miscommunication

What is different about this course?

There are a lot of courses about managing virtual teams. Here are three reasons why this one is different

Reason #1: Tactics, not just strategies

Most courses about virtual teams focus on high-level strategies and theories.

Very few actually give you the tactics that you need to implement those strategies.

In my course, I’ll show you exactly how you should apply the management tactics to your own situation. I will give you step-by-step techniques and scripts that will save you a lot of time in managing your virtual team.

In other words, I will answer both those questions for you:

-What do I need to do?

-How exactly do I do it?

Moreover, every video also has a “Summary of Actions” slide at the end that summarizes the course lecture for you, and tells you exactly what you need to do as a next step.

Reason #2: Proven Science-based Research

For the course, I did a ton of science-based research about powerful psychological and productivity studies in the areas of influence and management.

Some of the research references include journals from the Harvard Business School, Kelley School of Business, and McKinsey Global Institute.

I also reference studies from international bestselling books such as “Influence: The Science of Persuasion,” “Made to Stick,” and “The Tipping Point,” among others.

I’ve tested the findings from those references myself, and selected what works and what doesn’t in virtual teams.

So you will get the absolute best of the best concepts that work for you and your team.

Reason #3: Practical insights that work (not just theory)

I’ve been managing virtual teams for over 10 years, both as an entrepreneur and as a project manager.

In fact, I still work as a remote program manager, and my full time job is to manage virtual teams across the world to deliver highly complex projects.

Unlike most courses that are taught by professors who have studied this space from a purely theoretical view, you’ll be getting a unique perspective on how to manage people remotely from someone who does this for a living.

In short, the course will help you:

- Communicate more effectively and build trust with your team

- Stop worrying about being caught up in pointless day-to-day details

- Save valuable time spent on useless meetings and back & forth emails

- Choose the right technology tools and techniques for effective team collaboration

- Influence your team to be accountable for getting tasks accomplished
