Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #23 - Fractional leadership is getting more popular. But it is just the beginning. As we have tectonic shifts in how we work, employing part-time staff will become a norm in the upcoming years. In today's newsletter, I will talk about fractional leadership. What it means, but more importantly, when should you consider going with a fractional leader instead a full-time one?

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #22 - I love basic stuff. One thing I see during my course of mentorship & consulting with others is that one of the biggest root-cause for all things chaos in remote team operations is the inability to delegate sharply. You can't scale if you micromanage everything.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #21 - Let's talk about Teal. It is a long-standing debt on my end to shine a light on this concept as it is more closely connected to the future of work than any other approaches like lean or agile. In this edition of Leadership Anywhere, we'll explore the Teal principles and their potential applications for remote leadership. 

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #20 - Let's face it - most people aren't great at self-reflection. They may think they understand their own behavior, but in reality, they don't. This lack of self-awareness can lead to misunderstandings and workplace tensions, especially in diverse remote teams. Today, I want to share an actionable tip to help bridge this gap: creating a personal user manual.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #19 - There is an age-old debate on speed over efficiency — hypergrowth vs. slow-building. The duality of this concept is inherently wrong on so many levels. And it drives many debates and fuels even more excuses for investing time and resources in initiatives that matter. Now it is a bit better. You can find some startup founders who are open to discussing sustainable growth. This wasn't the case in cranked-up VC-powered Unicornland a few years ago.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #18 - We can't ignore digital nomads when we talk about remote work. They are the OGs, the community that has started it all. They worked remotely before it was cool or mandatory. As managers of remote businesses, we need to discuss why you need to hire them.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #17 - People analytics. Only some leaders know the term and how it can help your business. In this week's edition, let me give you a glimpse of what you can do with the insights people analytics can provide.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #16 - If you are not been living under a rock in the last 3 months, you've probably heard about the boom in AI. AI will fundamentally change how we work. But it is still early to see how. Still, I wanted to highlight 5 trends in the future of work that I am pretty sure will take a hit from AI. Before we dive in, we need to talk a bit about what I mean by AI. 

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #15 - Hybrid work is not a new concept. Instead, it is a response to the evergrowing need for remote-first operations. Some think it is just an intermediary answer until we figure out where we should work. Others think it is part of the commercial real estate lobby as they drastically lose revenue since the pandemic. I think hybrid work will be here to stay, but it will evolve, and we won't call it hybrid. It will be a flexible location with a remote-first operation. But, still, we do have the current challenges of hybrid work. Here are the three greatest challenges and how to address them.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #14 - Flexibility is the freedom to choose where, when, and how we work. If you, as a company, have flexible operations, the where and the when questions become choices. Your employees may work remotely. They may sometimes work remotely, sometimes from the office. They work synchronously, but they can also work asynchronously if they choose. 

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #13 - Trust is one of the critical challenges for any manager. Everyone talks about managers need to trust their teams better. But is it really the problem? That managers don't trust their teams? Is it the real issue why we have misaligned teams and a high churn rate of people? Not even mentioning the popular term of quiet quitting... I don't think so. I think the problem is that we don't understand

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #12 - During my 10yrs of career as a remote-first CMO for startups, I’ve seen many flaws. Things that could have been avoided with better leadership. Since January, I am sharing my knowledge not just with my immediate circle of community, but also with early-stage ventures backed by Techstars, as a mentor. I wanted to give 10 tips for anyone who’s working with growing companies, or building one themselves. These tips apply to most of the companies.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #11 - Head of remote. The title is everywhere if someone follows the journey of the future of work agenda. Yet, the title doesn't exist on LinkedIn. You can only manually set it on your CV or your job search. I'm 100% sure that the title Change Magician exists, but not the Head of Remote.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #10 - There's a lot of discussion about how web3, especially DAOs, can influence the future of work.Most people who talk about this just use buzzwords. Very few of them know what they are talking about. 

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #9 - Company culture is an ever-changing concept not just for remote companies but for anyone. Because it IS culture, people will continuously argue about it and provide multiple solutions for the same topic. 

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #8 - Most mentors (or coaches) work similarly. You have a problem or a process that needs to be changed, and you need support or help with that. Your mentor comes as an aid, helps you with support and knowledge, and holds you accountable during the change, making the implementation easier.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #7 - Our most important resource is time. As teams, we need time to do meaningful work. As leaders, we need time to make impactful decisions. We solved the location problem with remote work - almost anyone can work from anywhere now. It is time to solve the problem with time. We need to be able to work from anywhere, anytime. 

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #6 - In a previous issue of Leadership Anywhere, we discussed why it is vital to have a mission for the company. Now, let's focus on how to translate that mission as a leader for your team. Let's talk about the Leader's Intent.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #5 - Trust is the most cherished value for any leader. Trust happens naturally if the leadership is transparent. To put it simply: the higher the transparency you have as an organization, the more trust you have in the leadership.

Leadership Anywhere Newsletter #4 - Hiring leaders for your remote company is the most crucial hiring you will ever make as an entrepreneur. Today, I will explain my preferred framework on how to do it.
