Close Up Radio Spotlights Cecilia Dahl of Remote Leadership Lab

Boston, MA - “The challenge facing many businesses today is not that remote employees are less productive, but rather that remote teams require a different leadership approach to reach peak productivity,” explains Cecilia Dahl founder of Remote Leadership Lab.

“What’s really happening is that many businesses are continuing to lead remote teams the same way they have always led co-located teams, often because they were forced into remote work during the pandemic. But the same approach simply doesn’t work.”

So, what can leaders do? “I firmly believe that one of the most effective ways to engage a team is through inspiration—showing team members their potential, reinforcing their value, and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to their success,“ says Cecilia. “When employees understand their worth and see how their contributions, alongside those of their teammates, support the organization’s broader goals, they begin to feel connected to the business and develop a sense of community and belonging. Once that foundation is established, it becomes much easier to build essential skills around communication, productivity, planning, goal setting, decision-making, and more.”

The tug of war between companies pushing for a return to the office and employees advocating for remote work won’t last forever. “Remote work isn’t a new concept,” acknowledges Cecilia,

Cecilia co-authored Unlocking the Secrets of Remote Leadership with Katherine Brand to help leaders master necessary skills with expert insights and time-tested strategies. Available on Amazon.
