Episode 76: Making Virtual Work WORK with Dr. Betty Johnson

Send us Fan MailBetty Johnson is a woman on a mission—a mission to get leaders to wake up and take notice of what the real problems are with working remotely. Despite the endless conversations about “Zoom fatigue” and “camera anxiety,” and a smattering of books on the topic, no one has written a definitive analysis of the problem, or evidence-based solutions. In Making Virtual Work: How to Build Performance and Relationships, Dr. Johnson takes an unflinching look at the oft self-centered and egotistical practices of leaders that suck the life out of remote workers. Her meticulous research and survey of 405 real-life virtual workers lay bare the myriad clueless behaviors that drive virtual workers to fury and despair, and maybe even to quitting their jobs. Her unflinching look at remote work and simple, direct language explaining the problems, along with practical, actionable solutions will be an eye-opener, and maybe even an “ouch,” for any manager wishing to improve their workers’ lot.This slim volume is an invaluable resource for any leader who genuinely wishes to tackle remote-meeting fatigue. In refreshingly succinct and down-to-earth language,  Making Virtual Work provides a surprisingly practical and straightforward process any leader can adopt and leverage to stop the soul-stifling drain of remote work, while wringing value out of every minute spent in a virtual or hybrid meeting.https://www.linkedin.com/company/bridging-the-difference/about/https://bridgingthedifference.com/Rebel HR is a podcast for HR professionals and leaders of people who are ready to make some disruption in the world of work.We'll be discussing topics that are disruptive to the world of work and talk about new and different ways to approach solving those problems.Follow Rebel HR Podcast at:www.rebelhumanresources.comhttps://twitter.com/rebelhrguyhttps://www.facebook.com/rebelhrpodcastwww.kyleroed.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-roed/Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
