  • Remote Leadership: Game-Changer or Pipe Dream? with Kevin Eikenberry
    Feb 28 2025

    Effective leadership remains fundamentally the same regardless of location. It's the context that changes, not the core principles. The key is to think “leadership first, location second".


    While the physical setting may vary, the essential aspects of human behaviour, interaction, and needs remain constant, making it crucial for leaders to maintain their foundational leadership skills while adapting to new working environments.


    Kevin Eikenberry is an author, business owner, speaker, and podcaster. He co-wrote The Long Distance Leader and runs the Remote Leadership Institute. He’s been leading remote teams for about 15 years and specialises in remote and hybrid leadership training.

  • The Dark Side of Data: Avoiding Costly Pitfalls with Jenni McNeil
    Jan 31 2025

    Engagement surveys and team data are tools for understanding and supporting teams, not targets to achieve or sticks to beat people with.


    Simply gathering data for the sake of a good score is counterproductive and potentially disengaging. This information should be used to genuinely understand team dynamics, spot trends, and identify areas where support is needed to build authentic engagement and commitment to the organisation.


    Jenni McNeil is the head of Information Security at Contact Energy in New Zealand. She leads a geographically diverse team focused on protecting the cyber resilience of the organisation. Jenni started in sales and became a manager at 25, switching to technology as an IT support technician before pivoting to cybersecurity.


    Her current team includes a mix of experience levels, from recent graduates to industry veterans with 25 years of experience, spread across different locations.


    Three reasons to listen

    • Learn how to effectively monitor team dynamics in a remote work environment through digital listening and virtual water-cooler spaces
    • Understand the true value of engagement surveys as tools for understanding workforce trends and identifying areas for support, not just scoring metrics
    • Discover strategies for managing geographically dispersed teams while maintaining connection without micromanaging

    • [00:08:53] Leading a geographically-spread team
    • [00:11:21] Pros and cons of engagement surveys
