#45 Revolutionising remote leadership in the digital age
I'm excited to bring you a conversation with Kevin Ignatius, an L&D expert at Omnipresent, a digital company that focuses on global employment operations. Omnipresent is not only adapting to the digital age, but shaping it with their innovative approach. With Ominpresent being a remote-first culture, Kevin and I had the opportunity to design a leadership development program that truly reflects the needs of the digital age.
In this episode, we delve into Kevin's perspective on leadership as a behavior, not just an ideal, and share best practices for leading in a remote-first world. We'll also hear about a simple yet effective tip for leading remotely and why context is key. Join us for a conversation that'll inspire you to evolve in your own leadership development.
