Building Inclusive Teams In A Virtual World With Derek Thomas

Running a business in a virtual world means dealing with various cultures, viewpoints, and time zones. Leaders in remote setups must be flexible and versatile enough to cultivate interconnectedness and build inclusive teams. Derek Thomas, Chief Strategy Officer for Galway Holdings, shares with Megan Martin how they bring employees together from around the world by meeting them where they are at – despite not seeing each other physically. He breaks down strategies for empowering diversity within the team, especially when working with introverts and people from different generations. Derek also opens up about using the same inclusion strategies in making his son, who is diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, always feel accepted and loved.
