66: Focus Strategies for Remote Teams

Lisa George, founder of Momentum OT, shares her experience and strategies for managing remote teams. She started her fully remote workforce in 2004, long before it became common practice. Trust is a key element in her approach, as she believes that when you trust people, they are generally trustworthy. She focuses on output and outcomes rather than micromanaging employees' time. Lisa emphasizes the importance of human connection and intentionally creating a team culture despite the distance. She also provides tips for staying focused while working from home, such as establishing a routine, having a dedicated workspace, and practicing deep work.
