My New BNET Column on Managing Remotely

Posted on 03. Jul, 2009 by in General

I’m very excited to announce that today launched the first in my new monthly series of columns on BNET (okay, BNET UK).

The topic of remote management is becoming more and more prevalent, and i believe that it will be the number one new challenge (the old challenges haven’t changed since Adam and Eve met “did not meet expectations” on their first performance reviews) for managers.

Please check out the article here. I’d appreciate comments on the post, but more importantly let me know what topics you’d like to read about. What are YOUR challenges? What tools do you like? I’d especially like to know, what are the problems you see that your company just doesn’t seem to get but will bite them in the tush if they don’t get a grip on it?

    Congrats on the new column. Nice lightly written for a ‘tech’ article. ‘what they don’t do well’ drew my attention, so I can CMA.

    I think the subject of using the tools for remote teams seems like a good angle that would be interesting for a series.

    After that? Getting the boss to approve an onff-site for the whole team in Hawaii.
