The Remote Team Management Specialization helps you build the skills to confidently lead remote teams, even if you have no prior management experience. This specialization will be highly relevant to you if you are currently or aspiring to be in roles such as Team Leader, Project Manager, HR Manager, or any role that involves leading remote teams.
Over three courses, you will:
Design systems and strategies for leading remote teams
Develop communication and collaboration practices
Implement approaches to sustain performance and accountability
A distinctive feature of this specialization is the integration of skills related to leader mindset, team culture, and business results. It balances academic rigor with tools such as the SBI-R framework and RACI matrix, and complements them with real-life scenario projects.
You will complete the program with portfolio-ready assets that go far beyond templates: a remote team readiness plan, a culture and collaboration strategy, and a performance and growth plan. This means that beyond theory, you actually practice leading in a realistic remote environment, so you walk away with the confidence of having already experienced the role.
As remote work becomes integral to organizations, leading remote teams effectively is now an essential skill for leaders and managers. This specialization enables you to lead remote teams with confidence, strengthen collaboration, and drive meaningful results.
Applied Learning Project
This specialization offers hands-on projectsthat immerse you in authentic, real-world scenarios remote managers face today.
The first project involves launching a company-wide Employee Wellness Program remotely, for which you will develop a readiness plan for adapting leadership, setting up tools and norms, and preparing for common challenges.
The second project focuses on designing a remote team culture and collaboration plan for a global initiative, addressing trust gaps, breakdowns, virtual fatigue, and inclusivity.
Finally, the third project places you as a leader, improving customer retention by ensuring new users quickly adopt the software. You’ll create a performance and growth plan with strategies for setting goals, assigning responsibilities, tracking progress, and team development, applying tools such as the RACI matrix and the SBI-R framework.
These projects provide portfolio-ready deliverables, demonstrating your ability to lead high-performing remote teams.
