Leading remote teams during a crisis (episode 2)
You lead a team. One day you leave the office and tell everyone "see you tomorrow".
But overnight the world changes, and you find that you all won't be working together for a significant period.
But they're still looking for you to leadership.
My guest today has experienced this not once, but twice in his career.
The first was in 2013 when a major earthquake resulted in the corporate office where he was based being uninhabitable for a significant period
The second was in 2016 when it happened again, this time with the building condemned.
In both instances, teams went from being co-located to distributed across a city.
