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

Want To Work There

Hello, friends! Welcome back to our ‘From the Vault’ Series. While we record some juicy new content for you, we thought it would be great to revisit some of our favorite past episodes. Whether you missed them the first time around or (like me) need to hear something a couple times for it to really sink in, we hope you enjoy this “from the vault” episode!

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!
