10 Success Strategies for Leading Remotely

The global pandemic has changed the way of work for many of us and we are now working remotely. Therefore, we must change how we work, communicate, and lead. We can no longer walk over to our team’s areas and sit down for a chat. In the current climate, we must use technology to build and strengthen relationships…

Although leading remotely may not be a new experience for all of us, technological advances have dramatically changed the process. At the same time, we need to learn how to do our best work and achieve our goals.

Since I’ve been consistently working remotely, I’ve learned some new strategies which I have combined with some that are tried and true. I’m going to share what has worked for me and many others. I hope they will work for you.

Here are my 10 success strategies for leading remotely:

1. Be Responsive and Available
2. Make Meetings Accessible and Professional
3. Build Personal Connections
4. Treat Remote Workers Like They are Local
5. Trust Your Team
6. Provide Channels for Remote Workers to Provide Feedback
7. Set up Topical Communication Channels
8. Establish Communication Guidelines
9. Connect Their Goals with Yours
10. Make Time for Team Fun!

These strategies are for leaders usually working in the company office every day who may have suddenly found themself working from a remote location.

It’s also ideal for leaders working remotely who would like guidance that puts their team on the right track for high performance!

If you’re an aspiring leader, these strategies will help you to prepare and give you a jump start on leading remotely. Also for emerging leaders, it will help you to sharpen your existing remote leadership skills. Additionally, they’re a great refresher for accomplished leaders.
