What is the difference between managing field-based vs. home office teams?

In our 'Ask Rob' series, people reach out to me through my website asking for leadership advice. To help me tackle this particular question, I sat down with James Christie, my podcast producer. Tune in to learn our tips on how to manage teams in both scenarios successfully.

We discuss why the fundamentals of leadership apply in both field and home office management. You'll also learn the tactical differences you'll need to consider when managing in both environments.
