The Long-Distance Leader with Wayne Turmel – #104

You are not alone if you are feeling overwhelmed by the changing workplace. Not only do we have more generations working side by side, we also have colleagues working a time zone away. Wayne Turmel, Kevin’s co-author of The Long-Distance Leader, joins Kevin to dig deeper into the book and share his thoughts about remote leadership. Results from their research suggested that 60% of managers feel like they don’t know what they are doing when it comes to remote working. Yes, the work is getting done and at what cost? Because we can’t rely on real-time, face-to-face communication when people work from home or the other side of the world, leaders need to change how they think, act and communicate

In this episode, Wayne:

• Provides an overview of The Long-Distance Leader book.
• Shares some unexpected results from the survey and lessons learned since it went to publishing.
• Discusses the role of technology and your team.
