Leading a fragmented workforce: Q&A with Marty & Em - a podcast by Your CEO Mentor

Episode #83 // In October of last year we released Episode #60, and looked at leading remote teams. In that episode, we outlined a number of principles to ensure that a lack of proximity doesn’t translate into a lack of results or value.

Life has changed quite a bit since then, and now companies that previously had their whole complement of people within arm’s reach, are having to deal with managing a workforce that is fragmented in dozens (or even hundreds) of individual, remote work locations.

For leaders in industries that can still trade through a lockdown, you will need to develop new skills, perspectives, and approaches to lead your people successfully in what was (until recently) an unimaginable scenario.

Today I’ve asked Em to join me so that we can talk through some of the issues that will present themselves, and some tools and techniques for leading people through these difficult times. It could become the new normal for some organisations, so sitting back and hoping it will pass is a poor strategy.

Some of the tools and softwares we mention are below (please note, we have no affiliation with any of these products, they’re just things we love to use in our business!).

• Slack
• BombBomb
• Toggl
• Zoom
• Livestorm
