The days of sitting near your employees, watching their every move, are long gone. These days, you may be traveling, or your employees are in different offices, and you need to keep your team productive and aligned.

When you’re Managing Employees from a Distance, you need to use a radically different leadership style if you want to keep your team productive and also engaged. You need to make your employees more accountable and disciplined than ever before. But you also need to build warm relationships with them even though you may not see them very often.

This teleconference gives you the big ideas and specific tools for making distant employees productive and engaged, whether you’re on a plane or on the other side of the world. You’ll learn the best ways to communicate over distances, how to keep employees accountable without being a micromanager, words you should never use in emails, building trust with remote employees, and much more.

In this special 60 minute Teleconference, you call into a teleconference line to listen and ask questions and you get handouts/slides to download and keep. You can invite as many colleagues as you’d like and even interact directly with Mark Murphy, one of the country’s leading management experts.

This 60-minute session called Managing Employees from a Distance will show you:

  • Why distance leaders need a “split personality” (and how to be BOTH a highly-focused conductor AND a warm engaging team-builder)
  • How a free tool from Google can help you hold your employees accountable (and make them more productive)
  • How to assess distant employees’ job performance and measure their progress
  • Why you should NEVER ask “How’s it going?” to distant employees
  • The 1 question that you must ask on every phone call to avoid being blindsided by people undercutting you behind your back
  • 3 tools that build trust with remote employees (even when you never see each other)
  • How to transmit your values to employees that never get to see you
  • 3-step process for delegating large projects that keeps employees on track (but without any micromanaging)
  • A specific weekly communication regimen that keeps remote employees connected and aligned
  • 4 question test for deciding whether you should send an email, or instead use phone, voicemail, texting or face-to-face
  • How to avoid the 5 emotional “trigger words” in emails that cause misunderstandings, spark conflict, and get you into trouble
  • Write a “call to action” in every email that gets your employees to take immediate action
  • 10 minute conversation that keeps remote employees feeling connected and engaged
