Building and managing a remote team is very different than doing it in the office. How can you successfully lead your people virtually? How do you create trust and allow for a proper and ongoing communication stream? Richard Phu, the Head of Operations at Outsourcing Angel, is going to walk us through that and much more today.
Richard is an expert on successfully creating and leading remote teams, and he’s got a lot to divulge about this topic. He’ll share with us exactly how much and how often you should be communicating if you have a remote team, and how to best establish rapport with each and every member while supporting them along their individual career journey.
Most of all, we’ll be discussing the importance of having moments of reflection. Richard makes sure his team sets time and space to keep looking for new things instead of falling into the ‘busyness’ trap of running from fire to fire.
There’s definitely no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to leading your folks virtually, but the strategies Richard will share today are tried and tested, and can definitely be applied to better the performance of any virtual team. As Richard says so himself, it is harder to manage remote teams, but harder means different.

In this episode of the COO’s Corner, Tamar brings on Josh Greco, an expert and business coach with a passion for developing people professionally, personally, and spiritually. Josh will challenge our listeners to hold up the mirror and see potential – the reminder of what’s possible – and reflect upon improving their thinking patterns to gain clarity, wisdom, and wellbeing from within. This type of self-mastery can be expanded on and applied in organizations, empowering teams to examine, manage and improve their processes through conscious leadership. Josh will challenge companies to think about where there’s room for growth because he firmly stands by the idea that improvement is possible for everyone, everywhere. Join us today to learn about strategies for individuals to push the boundaries of what they think they’re capable of, and for companies to instill a culture of conscious leadership. Be sure to stay tuned toward the end so you don’t miss out on Josh’s gift for the listeners and followers of the COO’s Corner Podcast.

“[When fear] shows up, it's like, ‘No, this time is different, it feels different,’ but it's not. It's in the same category as all the other fear, we just don't have that perspective yet to overcome it. That's how you overcome it, is you lean into it, and you study it, and you think about it, and you inevitably come up with another way, and that's gratifying to me.”

Over the years, we’ve been able to witness how the ever-changing nature of the digital economy has transformed the workplace and the way people participate in it. The pandemic only accelerated this transformation.

With the right Quality Management System (QMS) in place, everything in an organization integrates and aligns.
Processes are coordinated and implemented effortlessly, and the company as a whole runs smoothly like a well-oiled machine. Whether product or service, from design to launch you can sense a commitment to quality in every person involved.
However, oftentimes companies write off QMS implementation trying to cut down on expenditures, but this can actually prove to be more costly in the long run. On the other hand, some companies find that implementing a QMS ends up being more of an efficiency hindrance with complex processes and procedures. Implementing the right QMS in the right way is unique to every organization, but what they all have in common is it requires keeping things simple, which is ironically no easy task.
Luckily, on today’s episode of The COO’s Corner we bring on Kathy Walsh, a subject matter expert to guide us through this issue. Kathy is a specialist and thought leader on quality culture and argues this can only be achieved by making the complex simple. Kathy will explain why quality represents the brains of any organization. She will offer guidance on how to correctly implement a QMS, and how to overcome the common challenges that companies face during the process.
- [00:03:00] What is quality, and what is a quality culture?
- [00:05:50] The key to instill a quality culture
- [00:09:12] Risks businesses face without a QMS system
- [00:11:55] Overcoming common QMS implementation challenges
- [00:16:40] Ensuring quality in every step of the process
- [00:21:32] Avoid this mistake during QMS implementation
- [00:24:59] Pinpointing the right size QMS for your organization
- [0028:51] Tamar asks her quintessential final question

Hyper-growth – a stage as exciting as it is demanding which all companies and businesses strive to get to.
My guest today is an expert and advisor on just that. With a background in engineering, Karen Walker shares her wisdom on some of the most indispensable processes, systems, and capabilities that organizations need to have to not only survive but thrive in hyper-growth.
Karen explains that the trials companies face entering hyper-growth are not just limited to the obvious, such as overcoming technical obstacles in a fast-paced environment or constantly having to refine standard operating procedures.
Join us as our guest sheds some light on the importance of the intangible yet very impactful issues that also define if a company is to be successful in hyper-growth.
We’ll discuss sense of purpose, employee engagement, cultivating the right culture, and other human aspects in the enterprise world that organizations can’t afford to ignore if their goal is to thrive in hyper-growth – especially during The Great Resignation.
- [00:03:33] What is hyper-growth?
- [00:06:06] Why companies struggle with hyper-growth
- [00:07:51] What skills does hyper-growth require?
- [00:10:17] Managing hypergrowth (how to be “directionally correct”)
- [00:13:27] Alignment – staying on course in hyper-growth
- [00:18:29] How to improve retention during The Great Resignation
- [00:22:10] What are the leading organizations doing to ensure retention?
- [00:31:15] The importance of culture in organizations
- [00:36:23] Tamar asks her quintessential final question
“People, in general, will be more productive when they're not just working on time when they're working on outcomes. Nobody gets up in the morning and says, “I'm excited to work eight hours today.” People get up and say, “I'm excited to create X or to provide service Y,” or whatever it is that they're doing.”

Almost everyone has a story to share about a toxic leader – someone who was arrogant, aggressive, or for some reason, just unpleasant to work with.
Although some toxic behaviors may be too subtle to identify at first, one thing is certain: stress caused by this leadership approach can take a toll not only on the productivity of organizations, but on the physical and mental wellbeing of the individuals belonging to them as well.
In this episode, our guest, Jeffrey Custer, delve deep into this issue: toxic leadership. He will provide insights on how to recognize these behaviors, where they come from, and what to do about them – because, as Jeffrey urges, we can all make a difference in the way we show up. Join us as we cover the following points:
- [00:03:50] What is toxicity?
- [00:07:21] Underlying reasons for toxic behaviors
- [00:11:10] What triggers toxic behaviors?
- [00:14:28] How to give feedback effectively (Jeffrey’s thumb rule)
- [00:22:18] How to set leaders up for success
- [00:34:23] What can you do about toxicity in your workplace?
- [00:37:45] Lessons and challenges from working remotely
- [00:43:06] Behaviors of a high functioning team (the “dream team”)
- [00:48:53] Tamar asks her quintessential question
“I encourage leaders to not lose hope. Within their division, they can do almost everything that we've been talking about. While they may not be able to change their whole organization, they can make a difference in that group.”

It’s a complex interconnection of persons that have forged ties over the years and is a powerful resource to tap into and yet not enough attention is given to it.
* What are informal networks and their role within organizations?
* Why are informal networks important?
* How can informal networks drive and even accelerate successful change, wellbeing, and a host of other things?
In this episode, we will answer these questions and more with Jeppe Hansgaard the CEO of Innovisor. Innovisor works with bold leaders across the world, who want to beat the poor statistics on successful change.
