Taking on a Senior Leadership Role Remotely

HBR IdeaCast
The risk right now is that because the circumstance has changed, it might be exacerbated for a particular leader, because not only are they facing the pressure of starting a new role, they’re also facing the incremental pressure of starting that role under the pandemic. So either they’re spending too much time in listening mode and not moving to action early enough, or they’re moving to action too quickly without making the time to listen understanding. I think the first thing is that, leaders need to acknowledge and be aware if they’re people are facing fatigue or burnout or working at a pace that is too accelerated at this point in time.
