Successfully Managing A Remote Team

By Franklin Skribbit


The history of business shows us that business itself is much like other aspects of human interaction-it has evolved. And, again similar to other subcategories of human interaction, the cogs that have been driving this change or evolution in business is the creation and implementation of technology.

Technology, namely in the communication and information sharing sectors, has fundamentally changed the way that executives and managers operate business. For example, much of business was orchestrated through the delivery of letters of business until the telegraph was introduced making communication across nations and even cities accessible to those businessmen with access to a telegraph office.

Students want to receive high grades because high grades are satisfactory. Their family will be pleased with them if they have high grades, and they will be able to be pleased with themselves because they have learned and succeeded in school. All in all, it safe to say that tests are important in school. Whether or not students want to take tests, or teachers or parents think they are worthwhile, students must take tests.

These individuals who believe thus are mistaken because they have failed to take into consideration the advances within the internet itself since the days of simply email. Modern technology has fundamentally changed the way that businesses run due to the capabilities of online information sharing.

The changes that have grown from the abilities of online sharing capabilities have led to the availability of off campus workers who perform their task for a company remotely. This means that now, more than ever, business managers, both executive and mid-level, will have to learn how to properly manage a remote access team who is working for the company through online means.

Managing a remote team of workers can be a challenge for some who have little to no experience in doing so, but the basics of managing a remote team are simple to understand and relatively easy to implement.

One of the first tips for those who are trying to learn how to manage their remote team is to understand that while they may not be able to sit down and have a meeting with the employee face to face, the technology that allows the employee to work from an off-site location likewise allows a manager to manage from a geographical distance.

In other words, all of the face to face meetings and management practices for managers can still largely be enacted online through online meetings. One on one time for each team member will be critical to managing a remote team just as it is for employees who work on location.

Many students use a learning management system in order to help themselves organize the material they need to learn so they can study more effectively. Getting a learning management system could greatly help you with your test taking anxiety, because the information would be organized and prioritized.

Learning management software can play a critical role in managing a remote team due to its capability to teach and instruct the employees virtually through applications of the software. By learning the basics of online managerial skills, a business manager will be able to evolve with the technology that is changing their business and simultaneously be able to effectively manage a team of employees working online remotely.
