Let's Talk Teams

How do you avoid some of the classic mistakes of leading a remote team? COVID-19 is making us all learn how to do it on the fly. In this episode Michael and Chris discuss how you can avoid these mistakes and take advantage of the opportunity.

Show Notes

The last month has forced unprecedented change on the whole world, and COVID-19 has made working away from the office a necessity for most people. But many managers have no experience with it. What should we do?

In this episode, Michael and Chris talk about their experiences with remote work, both as a manager and a team member.  Chris, who worked remotely from his team and his boss for almost 2 decades, talks about some of his failures and a few successes. Michael shares some ideas to make it work in 2020.

What is Let's Talk Teams?

We couldn’t find the podcast on building great teams so we made our own to document and share what we're learning along the way. Let’s Talk Teams is a weekly show where we talk about leading, building, and contributing to great teams at work. Some episodes are a peek behind the curtain at the conversations we’re having at Uptick as our teams grow and adapt. Others will be interviews with managers or discussions about a recent blog post.
