Summary

Working from home and managing remote workers presents significant issues we do not want to talk about or admit. The challenges for the work-from-home employee include dealing with distractions and lower productivity. And other times, overworking because you never leave the "office". You can experience feeling isolated and disconnected from what is happening at work and always being the last to know. Finding work-life balance seems out of your reach. Having been in your position for over 15 years, I share my mistakes and my tried and true process that eliminates feeling overwhelmed and creates time freedom.

As a manager of remote workers, you can experience frustration and concern. Communication is hard enough when you are all in the same room. Now that you have remote workers, it is even more challenging. You wonder what your staff is doing all day long! How can they possibly be late for a conference call? What can you do to foster your company’s culture? How can you keep your team focused on your goals? And make sure your customers are taken care of.

I now have a corporate office. I manage staff that are in the next office, some just a few miles away from the office, while others are in other countries. I understand how easy it is to lose control and feel frustrated. Over time, I found a roadmap to eliminate concern and improve communication and productivity.

In this audiobook, I share how I successfully ran a home office, how I found work-life balance, and how I helped my work-from-home employees become extremely productive.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The ‘new style’ of managing workers

Like most other people, I’ve had to adjust to remote working and trying to remain as productive and functional as possible. This book has provided me with incredible ways to structure and organise my day, while still remaining on level with my work colleagues.
I will definitely be implementing some strategies show and I look forward to seeing the results for my boss down the line.
