Best Practices for Leading Remote Teams
ALL ABOARD! The remote team train has left the station....are your teams on board?
According to the World Economic Forum, remote work is one of the biggest drivers of transformation in the workplace. Among the pandemic, technology, rising operational costs, and increasing globalization, remote teaming has increased 800% in the last five years alone.
During the pandemic, companies launched head-first into establishing remote teams, with barely a backwards glance at the unique challenges that exist for both leaders and team members.
Perhaps leading remotely is going smoothly for your leaders, but chances are you’ve had some bumps along the way. If managed well, you can expect remote workers to be highly engaged and accountable, as well as successful at building relationships, brainstorming, goal setting and planning.
