Growing up in a Kansas town of 2,000 people, leading a global team was a distant dream. But remote work made that dream real. Now, I can work from almost any corner of the world, bringing different viewpoints into our strategies. Just last month, at WebStreet , we spent a week in Brussels with our managers and then headed to Glasgow with the full team. These in-person meetups keep us aligned, but the truth is, we are building synergy remotely every single day. A remote team can thrive—if you build it right. Trust, culture, and clear systems make that happen, and that’s exactly what I’m breaking down in my upcoming book for CEOs hiring and leading young remote teams. And that’s exactly what I’m sharing in my upcoming book... "The Most Actionable How-to Book for Solving Problems Around Hiring Young People Remotely" ... (Yes, that’s the real title. Because remote work is real work.) Here’s what remote work has taught me: 👍 Trust over Presence: Trust doesn’t require an office. It’s about empowering people and making them feel valued. 👍 Cross-Cultural Synergy: Best ideas happen when we’re challenged by different perspectives. 👍 Systems and Feedback Loops: Good tools and open feedback keep everyone rowing in the same direction. Remote work isn’t just about the logistics; it’s a mindset. And from what I’ve seen, it opens doors for leaders and teams, building a work culture that’s as cohesive as any office.
