Re-invent your leadership style to outperform in-office teams [VIDEO]

Companies must fundamentally rethink how they work.

Tony Jamous, CEO of Oyster

Whether you’re at the C-level or simply managing a team, leaders of distributed organizations face new challenges that must be addressed with new perspectives and behaviors.

Companies of all types and sizes are now letting go of “the office” and embracing remote working because they believe in the benefits of distributed organizations. The most compelling but least understood of these benefits is increased performance, not just as individuals but as an organization.

In this video, recorded during the Running Remote conference, Oyster CEO Tony Jamous offers his unique perspective as the leader of a fast-growing fully-distributed company who caters to distributed companies, and shares insights leaders can apply to their own organizations.
