Excerpt from a YouTube interview (Kevin 'KD' Dorsey hosting Beth Jacobs) discussing leadership in remote work. The guest emphasizes clarity of roles, expectations, and measurable metrics as essential for ensuring distributed teams focus on the right work—especially in changing or smaller organizations where responsibilities and goals shift frequently.
I know a lot of leaders. It's like, okay, we're remote now. I don't really know what Beth's doing out there. Like, maybe she's doing her job, maybe she's not. The results are okay. They're not good, but they're not bad. Like, talk about that a little bit, especially in this remote world.
I mean, the first part is clarity, right? What are the metrics that we're trying to hit and why are they important? So if a leader can't clarify what. What they expect from their team, whether it's a sales team or anything else, you're not going to get anything because people aren't working on the things that they should be working on to move the organization forward. So first thing is, like, clarity of role and clarity of expectations. And now that's easy to say if you've been in a company who's been around for a long time in a smaller business where things are constantly changing as they are a lot of other businesses, that's much harder to do.
