If you want to keep your remote professionals engaged, happy and productive then you need to focus on the results you want – not the time they work.
Focus your management (and leadership) on the outcomes you need the employees to achieve to accomplish your goals. This gets everyone in alignment.
And you will avoid all of the downsides of old-school management focused on physical presence and face time.
Start by reaching an agreement on how you’re going to measure success unrelated to the hours it takes to get there. The word “agreement” is critical because simply transmitting your “expectations” doesn’t achieve the meeting of the minds you need.
Now, you might be thinking that you need a simultaneous physical presence for things to work well. And you might be right – for some things. But the truth is that asynchronous work can be more effective if you do it properly.
I invite you to:
- Start managing your professionals based on outcomes and objectives – not time.
- Think critically about which work tasks must be synchronous remote, asynchronous versus in person.
These changes are not easy – but they are essential.
A good coach will guide you through this process to you get results faster, and with less pain.
