When the pandemic started, I was working as a manager. It was my 6th year in that company. I thought, working remote is the best that ever happened to me.
Now I changed my job three months ago and remote work is killing me.
I realized that managing remotely itβs easy if you already have build strong relationships while in the office. You know how to approach each team member, who you can trust. It also takes much more time for people to trust you.
A good portion of the workplace population seem, to managers, to be unmanageable. Another good portion seem, to workers, to be unable to manage. It will take real skill to ameliorate that remotely.
Perhaps "remote leadership" is a new skill, a growth area to be exploited by the talented?
