What are the secrets to being a "long-distance leader"?

Authors and leadership experts Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel first asked that question back in 2018, when terms like "remote working" and "hybrid teams" were only just coming into use. They wanted to help a new breed of leader whose people weren't all in the same place at the same time, but still needed support, guidance and inspiration.

Now, a pandemic later, and after some seismic shifts in the world of work, Kevin and Wayne return with an updated version of their influential book "The Long-Distance Leader." And they join Jonathan Hancock on this episode of our podcast to reveal the new lessons they've learned.

So, discover how to build trust in remote teams. Find out why hybrid working needs careful planning. And learn which tech tools can change the way your leadership lands... and much more, from this expert international panel on Pain Points!
