Visibility in a Remote World: Appearances can be deceiving - a podcast by Your CEO Mentor

Episode #178 // Since the pandemic forced us into remote working, many people have turned their work day into performance art. They now pursue the goal of appearing to be busy, rather than actually delivering value-adding results. The activity becomes the end, rather than the means to an end.

Although this is nothing new (there have always been people who appear to be busy, while achieving little), it has definitely become harder for leaders to identify and deal with than it was in the past. How can you tell when someone is replacing real work with demonstrations of their own busyness?

We’d all like to think that we’re able to spot this behavior a mile away, but it’s sometimes a little more complicated than we might imagine. This episode is all about identifying and managing the people on your team who are potential Oscar nominees for the award of “Best Performance in a Working Role”.

I've also put together a completely free PDF guide to go with this episode '5 Ways to Keep Your Virtual Team on Task', which you can download at https://www.yourceomentor.com/episode178!
