#167 – Leading People Remotely is NOT What You Think. Learn How to do it Well.

Liam Martin has been leading as many as 150 remote employees in 43 different countries, without a single company office, for over 15 years.  Most of us have only been working remote for 2-3 years.    What results has he achieved?  Liam and his team have grown his companies' revenue, Time Doctor and Staffing.com, well into eight figures.  That is tens of millions of dollars, and success by anyone's measure!  So, what's he doing that we should be doing?  Liam explains on this podcast and in his new book, Running Remote: Master the Lessons from the World's Most Successful Remote-Work Pioneers.  Managing people remotely is not what most people think.  It is NOT simply transferring the same management style into the digital world.   Liam talks with David about how leading remotely is a completely different animal.  It requires a distinct methodology from the one used to manage people inside an office.    Join this podcast to learn some of the mindset and strategies that the world's most successful remote work leaders developed to grow their organizations from the ground up.  In addition to running his companies, Liam is also a co-organizer of the world's largest remote work conference — Running Remote. Liam is an avid proponent of remote work and has been published in Forbes, Inc, Mashable, TechCrunch, Fast Company, Wired, The Wall Street Journal, The Next Web, The Huffington Post, Venturebeat, and many other publications specifically targeting the expansion of remote work.  -------   This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.  I started developing Habitly content in 2004.  Habitly's powerful best practices have now been taught to thousands of people worldwide.  For instance, you can learn how to Create time in your day;  Get more from meetings;  Stay calm;  Achieve significant targets;  and Become a great leader.  Simply study and apply the expert knowledge provided in Habitly courses and micro-learning episodes.   Whether you're just out of college, or someone with over 20 years work experience, learn the habits of highly successful people on Habitly.    Test drive Habitly for 7 days on us!  This includes full access to the entire Habitly knowledgebase – www.habitly.com.
