How empathetic leadership can help remote teams rise above


Remote working is here to stay.

But 65% of remote workers say they feel isolated, and many managers struggle to know how to support them.

In Your Resource is Human award-winning marketer and global remote business leader Melissa Romo explores the five unspoken remote work emotions, and identifies the five remote-ready leadership behaviors that can help all teams, large or small, rise above the sometimes emotional undertow of working apart.

This book aims to give remote leaders the counsel and courage to embrace empathy, adapt their communication and inspire optimism that will drive culture, build connection and help their people do their best work.
