Leaders and Remote Teams

OrgDev with Distinction

We'd love to hear from you so send us a message!

The Distinction Podcasts are all about about bridging the gap between academic research and leadership practice. Dani Bacon and Garin Rouch, are your hosts and have read an extensive amount of academic papers and identified the 5 keys areas that high quality research shows you should focus on as a leader of a remote team.
There is so much quality research that managers could benefit from implementing into their daily routines and approach. We want to bridge the gap between research & management practice. We'll also be producing infographics to accompany the sessions so follow us on Linked and Twitter. . We want to equip managers and the HR practitioners who support them with strategies and tactics you can implement immediately to optimise performance (and bust a few management myths along the way!).
In this podcast we cover:

• The challenges of remote working
• Hedonic Adaptation and how it impacts remote work
• Why you should set expectations for your team
• Why leaders should be available and responsive
• What leadership research is saying about the quality of communication and remote work
• Why Leaders should be transparent
• The importance of a leader as a network broker
• How to adapt how you manage the performance of remote teams
