Katie Womersley - VP of Engineering at Buffer As most of our teams are fully or partly remote during the COVID19 pandemic, how to do remote work at all is now in a question of the past. Were doing remote work, but its still difficult to do it well. Leaders are being hard pressed to achieve results, and the strain of the pandemic and its impact on morale, productivity and mental health is being felt. The uncertainty around the pandemic, the economy, and the complete lack of anything normal means our teams need psychological safety more than ever. In a pernicious twist, the personal connections that usually drive this safety and bolster mental health are being weakened by the online-only workplace. In this talk, Ill be speaking from my experience as VP Engineering of Buffer (a fully remote team) and the frequent remote work writings and research I conduct with other leaders. Ill share whats working, and whats not, right now to build up psychological safety in your team, create predictability, and move toward being a high-performing (remote) team. https://ctocraft.com
