Building and managing a remote team is very different than doing it in the office. How can you successfully lead your people virtually? How do you create trust and allow for a proper and ongoing communication stream? Richard Phu, the Head of Operations at Outsourcing Angel, is going to walk us through that and much more today.

Richard is an expert on successfully creating and leading remote teams, and he’s got a lot to divulge about this topic. He’ll share with us exactly how much and how often you should be communicating if you have a remote team, and how to best establish rapport with each and every member while supporting them along their individual career journey.

Most of all, we’ll be discussing the importance of having moments of reflection. Richard makes sure his team sets time and space to keep looking for new things instead of falling into the ‘busyness’ trap of running from fire to fire.

There’s definitely no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to leading your folks virtually, but the strategies Richard will share today are tried and tested, and can definitely be applied to better the performance of any virtual team. As Richard says so himself, it is harder to manage remote teams, but harder means different.
