The Long-Distance Leader: Rules for Remarkable Remote Leadership
Kevin Eikenberry
You've always prided yourself on being a good leader-you work hard at it. But now you have a direct report on the other side of the country and a key team on another continent. Can you really motivate, guide, and inspire people when you're just an image on a screen? You can, and Remote Leadership Institute co-founders Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel show you how. The good news is that the fundamentals of leadership remain the same. Eikenberry and Turmel's Three-O model-Outcomes, Others, and Ourselves-applies whether your people are halfway down the hall or half a world away. Relevant examples and exercises enable you to make sure projects stay on track, that productivity and morale are high, and that you're able to build powerful, lasting relationships with people who may be doing most of their work while you sleep. The authors help you maintain your sanity while practicing what has become, in a very real sense, 24/7 leadership.
