Become a great manager in 60 minutes a month

Of all the things I've tried to figure out, managing a team has been the hardest.

 

There are many reasons why. But the following three stand out:

  1. There's little actionable advice about leading a team. Most books and content online provide you with big ideas but little help to implement them into your management style.
  2. By the time you find out what you're doing wrong, it's been months (if not years). That probably lead to a ton of frustration in our team. It also means we missed out on opportunities to make our team perform at its absolute best.
  3. It's easy to procrastinate improving your management skills in your day-to-day. I have yet to see "Become a great manager" as an OKR or team goal. Most of us are incentivized to deliver results - however they may be measured - making it easy to put off leadership education.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a program that taught us how to become better (remote) managers? Without inspirational quotes? With advice from actual experts?

Join Remote Manager Circle: 60 minutes a month to become a great manager

This is exactly what we're putting together with Remote Manager Circle.

 

What you can expect:

  • two 30-minute sessions a month with experts in management, leadership, and remote work
  • a space for you to ask questions when you're stuck
  • being held accountable with recurring time slots on your calendar

Starting this week, we'll host Remote Manager Circle every Tuesday at 4.30 pm Berlin time (CET) / 9.30 am Chicago time (CST).

  

You can sign up here to start becoming a great manager one session at a time.
