Publisher's Summary

Bloomsbury presents Smart Work by Jo Owen, read by Jo Owen.

In a world still adjusting to the impact of the pandemic, remote and hybrid-working is new territory for most people. But many managers can be poorly equipped to deal with it: the more casual ways of managing in a physical office simply don’t work with remote teams, and most tasks will be more challenging when conducted at a distance. Aspects of this will be great news for some people: managing remote teams can often raise the bar for leaders and managers, as well as for the teams themselves. But office-based, face-to-face leadership, while certainly effective, is often more informal and ad hoc, and a number of basic management tasks can be much harder to complete remotely:

- Managing workloads and performance.

- Resolving problems and miscommunications.

- Motivation (and the lack of).

- Professional development and ongoing training.

- Identifying, setting and measuring goals and targets.

This new audiobook shows how leaders, managers and team members can raise their games to meet the challenges of 21st-century leadership and our new age of working.
