All companies struggle when expectations are vague, processes inefficient, and decision-making power unclear; but in remote companies, the impact of these common organizational issues is magnified dramatically. In-person team members often mitigate the worst of these issues with some combination of personal persuasion, holding more meetings, and “management by walking around”, but in remote environments, these common band-aid solutions just don’t work as well. Fortunately, you don’t need band-aids when you address the deeper underlying issues that limit organizational clarity and empowerment. In this session, we’ll introduce 5 foundational elements needed to unleash autonomy and leadership for a remote team; join us to learn how to make remote work both highly productive for organizations and deeply rewarding for those working within.
