Last week—the second week of October—was “National Work From Home Week.” The week recognizes the seven million people in the United States who don’t commute to work every day and focuses on the way technology changes the ways we approach remote work and its benefits.
From 1995 until 2018, I worked at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where there was a strong culture of in-person teamwork. I started as an entry-level HR professional and progressed to an executive-level HR Director position. Then, in 2018, I was selected as NASA’s Director of HR Services, responsible for supervising executive-level HR Directors across the Agency. I immediately sought an executive coach with experience leading other executives remotely.
Then in September 2018, I found Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel’s book The Long-Distance Leader through our on-line learning management system. The book provides “rules for remarkable remote leadership.”
