2 Remote Work

Elise and Michelle, with guest Annie, discuss both leading and participating professionally on a remote team. The ability to lead a team into a sense of unification and shared goals might seem elusive, or appear to be a set of personality traits someone is innately born with. But that type of leadership is skill based and can be learned. Even if you aren’t a formal leader, developing these leadership skills will help you perform at a higher level and grow your career in a production role within a company. You’ve interacted with groups – even if you don’t have a lot of work experience yet. You might have been on a dance or sports team, student council, or been part of a student-lead group in college. Even a high school class or family relationship usually has a leader that drives the energy of the group and can – sometimes with what looks like little effort to an outsider – shift the direction of an activity or inspire others in the group to give more. This type of leadership is professionally valuable to traditional face-to-face teams, and it is even more crucial to remote teams. In this episode, we discuss skills that create successful remote leaders: Skills - Caring, Organization, Communication, Creating Professional Team Rituals, Building Intentional Group and Private Communication Channels, Delivering Highest Quality Work
