Publisher’s summary
An audiobook for managers leading remote teams and for employees who want to make a difference.
As more companies adopt remote, flexible, or office optional practices, managers and team leaders realise that the transition to a new way of working involves more than making sure that everyone has the right equipment to be able to work from home. It requires a change in mindset and approach.
In this collection of articles gathered together from the Virtual not Distant blog, Pilar Orti and Maya Middlemiss reflect on this transition from a change-management perspective, drawn from their experience of working with leaders of distributed teams.
Each article has been selected to cover one area of remote leadership practice and is followed by a set of leadership reflections to help you identify your next steps. Considering challenges from well-being to technology to communication, this series of articles will empower leaders at all levels to improve their personal practice and their team’s performance.
