Remote Work is Here to Stay—But Your Management Style Isn’t

For years, managers relied on walk-bys, open offices, and in-person meetings to lead their teams. But now, the office is virtual, and leadership hasn’t caught up.

Remote work isn’t just a change in location—it’s a shift in mindset.

And many managers? They’re still trying to lead like it's 2019.

📍 Micromanagement Doesn’t Work Without a Desk
In the physical office, micromanagement could pass as “being hands-on.” But remotely? It becomes surveillance—daily check-ins, mouse-tracking, “green dot” policing.

This creates a culture of mistrust, not performance.

Employees don’t need babysitting—they need clear expectations, real autonomy, and accountability based on outcomes, not screen time.

📍 Visibility ≠ Value
One of the biggest remote myths? That the most vocal or most online employees are the most productive.
