Synopsis

When The Long-Distance Leader was first published, it was pre-pandemic and remote work was in its infancy with 30% of managers leading at a distance—now that number is well over 50%.

As more organizations adopt a remote workforce, the challenges of leading at a distance become more urgent than ever. The cofounders of the Remote Leadership Institute, Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel, show leaders how to guide their teams by recalling the foundational principles of leadership whether their teams are remote, hybrid, coworking, or something entirely new!

The authors' "Three-O" Model refocuses leaders to think about outcomes, others, and ourselves—elements of leadership that remain unchanged, whether employees are down the hall or halfway around the world. By pairing it with the Remote Leadership Model, which emphasizes using technology as a tool and not a distraction, leaders can navigate the terrain of managing teams wherever they are.

This second edition features updated exercises that ensure projects stay on track, keep productivity and morale high, and build lasting relationships, along with a new chapter on hybrid workplaces.

Here are a few insights: In the book, The Long-Distance Leader, these questions were asked: • How do we know people are really working? • Are people gett......more

Goodreads review by Corey on March 09, 2019

Ironically picked up this book in an airport and I was about to board a plane to another state where part of my distributed teams works. The title drew me in and a review of the page with the “rules” compelled me to buy it. The content hits on common sense reminders of need for communication on a te......more
