Staying connected with your teams when you are all working in different locations

Last week I spoke about how to work from home. This time I’m speaking about how you, as a manager or leader, can stay connected with your teams when you are all working in different locations.

There are three main things we need to consider when we work from home – ourselves, our people and our space.

In this episode I talk about:

· Show self-compassion

· Being more effective communicators

· Curiosity

· Your culture – what can stay the same, what will change?

· Staying connected

· Clarity

· Change

· Creating the space – your new work space, the online space and giving yourself enough mental and emotional space

· Consistency

How are you coping with leading a team remotely? Is this the first time you have had to? What is surprising you about it?
