Managing Remote Teams

We are all now managing and working in more remote ways than ever before. Many of us are learning how to be consistent when managing in this new environment. How do we have those difficult conversations about performance and well-being? How do we prioritise to manage our teams more effectively? And how do we get the balance right between productivity, well being and maintaining staff motivation?

Managing remote teams training gives you the chance to reflect on how you are managing your remote team now, and how you could improve your own performance and that of your people. We consider which management styles are suited to this new virtual environment, how we can manage ourselves first, and then the skills for managing remote teams.

Managing Remote Teams FAQs

How do you effectively manage a remote team?

It’s important to recognise that while you will be using typical management skills, managing remote teams brings an additional element of difficulty which requires some new skills. This is where remote team management training comes in. It will help you understand the different managerial styles, and the most effective in the virtual world. It will also give you the theory and a chance to reflect on the specific skills required in managing a remote team – giving constructive feedback, employing a coaching approach, confidence in handling challenging conversations, and the ability to set outcome focused objectives.

How do you keep remote teams productive?

The key is to set goals in conjunction with your staff which are challenging but specific and clear. And then focus on monitoring the outcomes through regular 1-2-1 without focusing too much on how they are spending their time and how often they are at their desks! Good managing remote teams training will provide delegates with a focus on staff outcomes rather than inputs, and the skills and understanding to nurture virtual relationships in a supportive yet challenging way.
