Leading telecommuting teams is the key new area that leaders must master for leadership success in the post-COVID world.
Unfortunately, our intuitive leadership style is adapted to in-office collaboration, and is poorly suited to telecommuting teams. Our gut reactions on telecommuting teams can’t be trusted, as revealed by research in behavioral economics, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience. So how do the leaders of Fortune 500 companies make the right calls on leading telecommuting teams?
They follow evidence-based best practices on leading telecommuting teams and the future of work as revealed by such research. Below is a brief outline of the key contents of the course drawn from the data:
· The best approach to the future of work involves a balance of telecommuting and hybrid employees, with more of the latter for most companies
· Doing so will enable organizations to excel in retention and recruitment, boost productivity, re-energize company culture, gain substantial cost savings, and manage a wide variety of risks.
· In transitioning strategically to leading telecommuting teams, leaders need to benchmark to best practices.
· That involves first surveying your employees to get both information on their specific needs and buy-in for whatever policies you implement.
· The survey should serve as the basis for top leaders providing broad guidelines for the future of telecommuting and hybrid work arrangements
· Then, use a team-based approach to determining the details. Have each team leader of rank-and-file employees, in consultation with their team members and their peers, make decisions about what their team’s schedule will look like.
· Based on that, downsize office space. Reshape it to focus on collaboration versus individual work.
· Revise employee performance evaluation to focus on tasks, not time spent.
· Ensure a regular weekly evaluation process that provides both hybrid and fully telecommuting employees with a constant awareness of where they stand and what they need to do to improve.
· Adapt company culture to the new telecommuting and hybrid model strategically, addressing challenges of connection of employees to each other and to the company as a whole.
· Adapt your company culture to innovate successfully in hybrid and telecommuting settings, through telecommuting brainstorming and serendipitous innovation practices.
· Address diversity-related issues, such as technology-based discrimination, in telecommuting settings.
· Train your staff to succeed in this telecommuting and hybrid model by helping them understand how to divide their work between collaboration in the office and individual tasks at home; likewise, boost their telecommuting and hybrid communication and collaboration skills.
· Finally, offer appropriate funding for their home office needs.
· Taking these steps will maximize your competitive advantage in the most important resource: your people.

Sounds too good to be true? These methods were successfully used by Aflac, Applied Materials, Entergy, Honda, Jones Lang LaSalle, IBM, Reckitt, Wells Fargo, and Xerox to dramatically improve the skills of their top executives, senior VPs, middle managers, and lower-level supervisors in leading telecommuting teams. Over the last few months, I trained the leaders at these Fortune 500 companies, as well as at numerous middle-market companies and quickly-growing startups, on telecommuting team leadership. More broadly, I served for over 20 years as the CEO of the boutique future-proofing consultancy Disaster Avoidance Experts. Below is a sample testimonial from a recent training on telecommuting team leadership.
Here’s a recent testimonial from Dan Rooney, Senior Vice President at Jones Lang LaSalle, a company ranked #186 by Fortune, speaking about the impact of my training:
· “Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to present to our Consulting team last week. The content was spot-on and provided a unique perspective into building culture, driving innovation and brainstorming across telecommuting and hybrid teams (among other things). I appreciate your willingness to partner leading up to the presentation to ensure the content was tailored for the audience – it made the discussion that much more impactful. I have received positive feedback from a number of team members and look forward to collaborating more in the future!”
My best-selling book, Returning to the Office and Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams: A Manual on Benchmarking to Best Practices for Competitive Advantage (Intentional Insights, 2021), will form the basis for this course.

This combination of business and science led to my expertise gaining global recognition. I published over 550 articles and gave over 450 interviews for prominent venues, such as Fortune, USA Today, CNBC, Fast Company, CBS News, Business Insider, Inc. Magazine, and Time.
Besides my real-world, pragmatic expertise training and consulting for Fortune 500 companies, I have a strong academic background as a behavioral scientist. I spent 8 years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, first getting a PhD in the History of Behavioral Science and then serving as a lecturer there. Then, I spent 7 years as a professor at the Ohio State University, where I published dozens of peer-reviewed articles on this topic in high-quality academic journals such as Behavior and Social Issues and Journal of Social and Political Psychology.
