Managing Remote Workers: How to Manage Outcomes Over Outputs
Manage episode 346039392 series 3411855
In this episode of Grow and Convert Deep Dives, we discuss a philosophy we have about managing remote workers (or workers in general): How to manage by outcomes instead of outputs. Oftentimes in our work, we come across other companies that have goals that don't move the needle, don't motivate employees, and cause more harm than good. We think this approach does the opposite.
We discuss how we think about goals, creating a great work culture, and how to effectively manage remote workers.
