Close to twenty-five percent of professionals today work remotely in some capacity (and even more since the start of the pandemic). There are a lot of benefits to companies who employ a virtual workforce: cost savings on office space and other overhead, improved job performance, better employee morale, and a broader pool of talent from which to recruit. However, there are also challenges: communication limitations, social isolation, and managing distractions, among others.In his leadership management book, How to Make Virtual Teams Work, Robert Glazer, bestselling author of Elevate, taps into his decade of experience managing a virtual office—and winning twenty "best places to work" awards—while providing leaders with a step-by-step playbook on how to intentionally build a remote workforce and culture by developing core values that provide guidance in hiring talent who works well remotely, creating comprehensive onboarding plans, using technology to communicate and connect with remote employees, and more. This goes way beyond a typical HR strategy book. By employing these specific organizational behavior strategies, leaders can build a remote environment that thrives and make it one of their key competitive advantages.
From bestselling author Bob Glazer comes a revolutionary approach to partnership marketing. Partnership marketing is not new; it has existed in many different forms, and under many different names, such as affiliate marketing, for decades. However, thanks to transformative changes in enabling technology and pricing models, as well as a change in both supply and demand, partnership marketing now exists in a more automated, scalable form that few companies have fully leveraged to date. MOVING TO OUTCOMES will unlock the keys and show readers how to do so for themselves.Think about your marketing strategy as you would consider an investment portfolio. Every investment guru advises diversifying your stock market assets to protect against declines in some types of assets. Additionally, if you want better returns, you need to adjust your holdings through diversification and get outside of the traditional asset classes. Once an asset class reaches maturity and ubiquity, you are much less likely to see above-average returns. Investors can't beat the market by investing in the biggest names of today; instead, they need to find the next Microsoft, Amazon, or Tesla.Marketers today have a choice. They can keep doubling down on advertising with the digital goliaths of today or begin to diversify and invest in other marketing channels, with an eye toward the future.

It's a shame to let a bad ending spoil a good relationship - but that's what happens in most companies every day. Employees who are thinking of leaving keep their plans secret until they are confident of their next steps and suddenly put in their two weeks' notice. Companies might retaliate by asking them to leave immediately and not even letting them stay the full two weeks. And on the other hand, companies fire or layoff employees with hardly any warning all the time as well—and those employees don't even get the courtesy of a two weeks' notice. In either scenario, both parties feel blindsided and are left scrambling.But there is a better way—by creating an open transition program (OTP), companies and employees can be honest when they don't feel a role is working and make a plan together to find a better fit. OTPs are built on four foundational Psychological safety throughout the organization, so that employees feel safe to say when something isn't workingHonest communication through feedbackRespectA commitment to mutually beneficial outcomes for both partiesWith these four principles in place, organizations can create a culture where everyone feels empowered to pursue the best fit role for them.
