Description
COVID19 has thrust many leaders into remote management, to manage workers who are suddenly working from home, and this requires a very different skill set than face-to-face management. They have been forced to make this transition quickly and often without any training. As a result, some managers may be finding their roles more difficult than before, and making their employees lives more stressful as they struggle to adapt.
In a 2020 survey, conducted by the Harvard Business Review, around 40% of supervisors and managers expressed low self-confidence in their ability to manage workers remotely.
This course is designed to give you that self-confidence, and quickly equip you with the tools and techniques you need, for effectively managing team members when they are working remotely.
