How to Lead Remote Teams the Right Way

Managing remote employees is not the same as managing in-person. Treat them the same and you will fail them and yourself.

In this episode I share my first experience managing a fully remote teammate, what it really feels like to work remotely, the biggest mistakes leaders make, and the exact strategies I used to build a high-performing and connected team across states.

Whether you lead a hybrid team or fully remote, this will give you the confidence and tools to do it right.
