"Managing teams remotly"

Hace rato he asistido a una sesión web de Mark Fritz que me ayudará muchísimo en mi futuro: "Managing teams remotly".

Además he aprendido una nueva palabra en inglés: Procrastination – dejar las cosas para más tarde.

Estas son las notas que he tomado en la sesión, y que se dividen entre factores de éxito y buenos hábitos:

*Success factors:

- Everything starts by defining success ( Activity vs Acomplishment, journey and destination): It is about creating the conditions to enable success
- Distance magnifies everything (even reputation)
- Everything you do is to build trust (Conflict/opinions/is good)
- Think and disscuss in Outcomes (Ownership is important – understanding the big picture)
- Common processes and Information Sharing - Driving communality is not easy and requires politics

*Good habits (CORE leadership skills):

-Think ahead & prepare (Your quality of thinking drives success) (you want to be driver or passenger seat?)
- Delegate & ask questions (don’t save people’s thinking – grows ownership, people grow by delegation): What’s the best way to do this? – NO – What ways are there to do this? Multiple choices
- Make goals and achievements visible (positive peer pressure)
- Adapt your style of communication (match communication styles: sms, call, email… Tell stories and examples – make emotional link)
- Use meetings in a structured way (do not make people waist their time)
o Succesful outcome
o Key topics to cover
o Right participants
o Prework needed
o Participants to talk to
o Agenda
o Follow up
- Play the game of positive politics (Win – Win, align, relationships)
- Always follow up

Don’t wait for the inspiration (take action and get inspired)
