Part of the shift to effective virtual or remote leadership involves today’s Effective Virtual Conversations tip of SHARE THE REINS.
In the remote space, engagement is key. If people don’t feel connected, they are unlikely to bring their best self to work.
Why It’s Important

What sharing the reins looks like:
- Having team members rotate roles including leading meetings.
- It may also involve fostering a peer focused culture where the role of the leader primarily focuses on liaison and trouble shooting.
