Remote teams are the future of work

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. The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has accelerated the need for managing people who work from home, as telecommuting became the norm.

With "How to Manage & Influence Your Virtual Team" 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

• Principles of Behavior Change: Four strategic principles that will change your team's behavior to get things done
  

• Tactics of Influence & Persuasion: Step-by-step tactics that influence your team members to do what you need them to do

What is different about this course? 

There are many courses on 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 this course, I'll show you how to apply the management tactics to your own situation. You'll get step-by-step techniques and scripts that will save you a lot of time in managing your virtual team. 

In other words, you will get answers to both those questions: 

  -What do I need to do? 

  -How 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. Basically, you'll learn everything about virtual team management in simple steps.

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 studies 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 15 years, both as an entrepreneur and as a program manager. 

In fact, I still work as a remote leader, and my full-time job is to manage virtual teams across the world to deliver highly complex projects (note: I work for Cisco Systems, but all views are my own and not those of Cisco). 

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

Student Testimonials:

★★★★★ "I've been managing virtual teams for three years and still found some great gems in this course! I especially liked the first three modules (Communication, Behavior Change, and Persuasion) as well as the Trust module. They added some theory and words to tactics that I'd been using in the past, and condensed some useful tips into easy actions - like the trust formula and the "good" way to answer a question." - Nina Wroniak

★★★★★ "I'm doing my MBA online, and although group projects feature prominently, the university gave no guidance on how to conduct virtual teamwork. I'm really glad to have taken Hassan's course, and have recommended it to other students in my program to make our group work more productive. " - Astrid Tiefholz

★★★★★ "This course was great because it really explained the evidence behind the tips he was giving. Each section was developed in a clear way and a clear connection to the larger goal. I am excited to implement the things I’ve learned on the team I work with." - Joy Anderson
