Long-Distance Leader: Revised Rules for Remarkable Remote and Hybrid Leadership

By Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel

The new edition of this internationally acclaimed guide to remote and hybrid leadership comes with an updated and enriched framework for the modern workplace. It introduces new principles and retains proven strategies for effective leadership across distances.

When The Long-Distance Leader was first published, it was pre-pandemic and remote work was in its infancy with 30% of managers leading at a distance—now that number is well over 50%.

As more organizations adopt a remote workforce, the challenges of leading at a distance become more urgent than ever. The cofounders of the Remote Leadership Institute, Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel, show leaders how to guide their teams by recalling the foundational principles of leadership whether their teams are remote, hybrid, co-working, or something entirely new!

This second edition features updated exercises that ensure projects stay on track, keep productivity and morale high, and build lasting relationships, along with a new chapter on hybrid workplaces.

My Journey From Bud to Boss

By Kevin Eikenberry and Guy Harris with Sara Jane Hope

This Learning Guide is designed as a companion to From Bud to Boss or our Bud to Boss Workshops. It will assist you on your journey to become a Remarkable Leader. It is also more than that. Each section covers a separate topic and each one is independent of the others. You can work through all of them from front to back or work through only those topics you feel will help you to enhance your supervisory skills. It includes activities, questions, and exercises designed to take you beyond the concepts introduced to you during the Bud to Boss Workshop or in the From Bud to Boss book. While this book is completely designed to be written in, many of the tools and templates may work better in digital form, and you might want to use them more than once. We took that into account too – and every book purchase includes special access to many templates and tools in both pdf and Word document form so that you can use them over and over.
