Managing Remote Teams without Micromanagement

Whether we like it or not, remote work is here to stay. Yes, not every company will remain 100% remote moving forward, but post-COVID one would be hard-pressed to find a company that will remain 100% in office as well. The reality for most companies will most likely be a hybrid model through most of the 2020s.

Over the past decade, I have managed infrastructure, software, and product teams around the world in a fully remote, hybrid, and 100% in-office environment. I have done this for some of the world's leading enterprises, consulting companies, and startups. Most importantly I have learned to do this without micro-management, in a healthy, sustainable manner. In this session I will cover some strategic and tactical ways to go about this including:

• Geographic optimization of remote teams
• Changes to hiring processes/approaches
• Conducting effective remote/hybrid working sessions
• Asynchronous communication tools, techniques, and templates
• Team building activities and morale management
