Building Successful Hybrid Teams (Back to Work, Better) | HBR IdeaCast 12 Apr 2023 --- Tsedal Neeley, professor at Harvard Business School, has been studying remote work and global teams for years. In episode 732 early in the pandemic, she shared how managers could lead their teams while many team members worked from home. Now, as more people return to more in-person work, she’s back on the show to help managers lead their teams effectively in a hybrid workplace, a mix of working from home and the office. Neeley is the author of the book Remote Work Revolution: Succeeding from Anywhere, and the HBR article “15 Questions About Remote Work Answered.” This episode originally aired on HBR IdeaCast on July 27, 2021.
