Episode Details

It wasn't planned, and over the past 18 months, many of us became remote leaders and workers. Darleen DeRosa and Jim Citrin are the authors of Leading at a Distance: Practical Lessons for Virtual Success. They sit down with Kevin to discuss leadership skills that have become more important as we work remotely. They asked leaders what their biggest challenge was in this environment and the majority said it is inspiring and motivating their teams. Purpose and authenticity have been increasingly important leadership capabilities over time, but they are now more central and expected than ever. We need to be more deliberate and thoughtful with our teams and find opportunities to build trust through a screen.

In this episode, Darleen and Jim share:

1. How leaders can build trust.
2. Things to think about when hiring virtually.
3. Challenges for hybrid workers and hybrid teams.

Quote: In a virtual world, people's discretionary effort is what determines whether they and their organizations really thrive or just kind of go along. -Jim Citrin
