The Independent Minds is the podcast where we don’t tell you what to think, but we do hope to make you think!

The Power of Remote

The world wants to work remotely, but not many employers, of any type or size, nor their employees have really worked out how to make remote working work. 

Many managers struggle to adapt to managing people they cannot see immediately.

One manager who has worked out how to make remote working work is Shane Spraggs Partner at Virtira, a provider of project services geared to help revenue growth.

In this episode of The Independent Minds Shane shares with Michael Millward, some of the secrets of successfully managing remote workers that are contained in The Power of Remote the book he co-authored with Cynthia Watson.

You will hear how Shane structures his working day and his relationship with his team which is spread across Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
