Thinking Remote

A book for managers leading remote teams and for employees who want to make a difference. A concise volume to add to your collection of leadership books.

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 wellbeing to technology to communication, this series of articles will empower leaders at all levels to improve their personal practice and their team's performance.

Quotes

  • Yulia Yurchakhas quoted4 months ago
    How truly two-way is the process, and are we all comfortable giving and receiving feedback in both directions – speaking ‘truth to power’ and asking for help where we need it?
  • Yulia Yurchakhas quoted4 months ago
    Do this to review your process, not necessarily your results. Answer questions such as:

    Is communication effective?
    Do you feel supported?
    Are there any blocks you constantly come across?
  • Yulia Yurchakhas quoted4 months ago
    During the conversation, the team member reports on:

    three things they have done well
    two areas or skills which need improvement
    one way in which the team lead and organisation can support them.
    Finally, the ‘Oh’ brings one or two sentences on what they are most excited or grateful for in the organisation, and how they would like to develop their career.
