5 Things I've Learned (Some the Hard Way) About Being an Exceptional Remote Manager

Welcome back! In today’s episode, I reflect on five core lessons I’ve learned over 10 years of being a remote manager. Managing a team remotely does have its advantages, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. I’ve learned some important lessons the hard way. By sharing, I can hopefully spare you (and your team) from having to experience the same! 

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The one assumption you should never make when managing remotely. 
• How the “butts in seats” mentality carried over to remote working and what you must do to eliminate the problem.
• The one step you MUST always take before having a difficult conversation with a team member remotely.
• Why consistency is king when it comes to employee 1:1s.
• The importance of not just talking the talk, but also walking the walk - and what that looks like when you aren’t in the same room as your team!
