WHAT?
Remote leadership brings challenges. How do you keep your team motivated? How do you discuss current affairs and build a relationship with each other? How do you exchange information and come to work agreements? How do you organise team meetings? ou will work with success factors that play an important role in remote management.
Remote working requires new competences from managers. Being able to switch quickly is one of the most important skills. Research shows that non-verbal communication is a big part of face-to-face contact. The non-verbal cues are lacking when working remotely, which is why this requires effective and clear communication from the manager and the rediscovery of personal contact moments such as bilateral meetings and development interviews.
Less frequent contact with employees often leads to the implementation of control mechanisms, due to the need of managers to keep an eye on the progress of projects. This is counterproductive. Giving confidence and transferring responsibilities increase effectiveness and efficiency. Remote management teaches you how to work together and perform effectively in remote teams.
