NR 1 BESTSELLER: The Living Room Leader
LEADERSHIP LESSONS FOR A HYBRID FUTURE
Around mid-March 2020 or thereabouts, many of us became Living Room Leaders (or Bedroom/Kitchen/Garage Leaders). With no road map and no ‘how-to-lead-remote-teams-RIGHT-NOW’ training manual, we’re all experimenting with new ways to manage, motivate, hire and engage our teams.
