21st Century Work Life - Remote Working, Virtual Teams And Flexible Working

A packed show today, where we look at some of the issues concerned with leading and connecting over distances – as we must in the virtual workplace. Stay tuned for further developments, including our powerful new tool for ‘learning out loud’ – developing a team podcast together. Meanwhile, on with our own podcast! 3.07 The Voice Behind the Book: Kevin Eikenberry, The Long Distance Leader rules for remarkable remote leadership (coauthored with Wayne Turmel) Kevin and Wayne have been in the leadership business for 25 years (congratulations on the milestone anniversary!) – so they’ve seen many changes, in the way the workplace looks and feels. Acknowledging that some very senior people are now having to lead in a very new environment, where they don’t see their teams all the time, they wrote the book to explore the new skills and techniques this world demands… Whilst affirming that leadership in essence has not changed. Kevin walks the talk, his hybrid team is spread across the US, rarely all meeting in person.
