WOW! It’s finally here. I am excited to announce that my book writing project is complete. The book is entitled “Don’t Mistake Presence for Performance. Discover How Effective Leaders Manage Hybrid and Remote Work Environments”. It explores eye-opening research that challenges the assumptions of leaders who believe that the only place workers can be productive is in a common workspace. Leaders can increase their effectiveness by changing their approach and applying the appropriate mindset shift and leadership skills. By fully embracing the concepts and practices outlined in the book, they will maximize their leadership effectiveness and avoid falling into the trap of settling for less-than-optimum results. With the proliferation of remote work and hybrid working environments, the forward-thinking leadership approaches outlined in the book will enable leaders to confidently manage any work environment. Find out more about the book using the link below:

It is available on Amazon in paperback and eBook format.
Cheers,
Dave

Video Premiere - After working with hundreds of leaders managing remote teams these last two years, we’ve heard this question asked more often than others… Am I empowering my team to maximize productivity? Or am I merely "directing" them to produce results that are just, OK?

It has become abundantly clear that, how we approach leadership can make a vast difference. We’ve studied the new virtual / hybrid workplace, lived in it and have designed a comprehensive training and coaching toolkit to meet the needs of leaders and their teams as they successfully navigate the changes. Here is a fun, animated video (under 5 minutes) entitled ‘Better Leaders - Better Results’, which makes the point of why a leader’s approach makes all the difference.

The video is also available on our home page: https://lnkd.in/gjbuUdz

It's been a couple years now since the ritual of regular off-site meetings gave way to Zoom sessions.

We can help with that too.
