In this episode with Valentina Thörner (pronounced Turner), we talked about the following:
- She explained why remote working has changed during the pandemic.
- During the hiring period at Automattic, you are not talking to a live person.
- People who like to be at the office, but hate the commute to the office.
- People who want to work from home, not because they hate people, but because they love their life.
- Why becoming a parent changed her view and experience with habits and productivity.
- The guilt of wanting to be more productive.
- The shift from now I am at home and now I am working from home has a lot to do with habit creation.
- The remote leadership radar
- Our brains are not wired for a remote world, our brains would like to people in person.
- Have places where people can virtually meet with people on hobbies and other topics.
- Onboarding in a remote and distributed environment and how many people you want in the network for new employees where they can ask questions.
- A community of neighbors that help each other during the kids’ holiday breaks from school.
- As a leader, you want to stimulate the hobbies of your team members.
- Create a community for yourself to meet people having fun with, without being in a dating environment.
