Description

This episode features one of our favourite people – Chris Dyer! Chris has been running remote organisations for the past two decades and shares some of his insights and learnings about remote work in this episode.


Key take aways:


> Don’t try to force a new thing in with an old thing – fully commit to the new thing instead. Like: don’t bring the saddle when you go from riding a horse to driving a car.
> Meetings can be thoughtfully designed and structured to serve the purpose of the meeting, Chris has a way to name them to make the purpose clearer.    
> 1-1 meeting might not be as helpful as you think – Chris outlines situations that might need them, but also situations that might be better without them as they
might not be conducive to getting work done. 
> Hybrid is the hardest system to make work for employees and leaders – make it simpler by assuming that everyone is remote. This will democratize hybrid and make it a little easier on everyone.
