You’re working remotely and feeling disconnected. How can you re-engage with your team?
Depending on your geographic distribution, quarterly offsites can be a valuable tool. In addition, informal remote gatherings can also be helpful. For example, at our company we meet for a weekly “shout out or eff up” session where team members have the option to recognize a team member for their help or contribution, or talk about a moment they themselves messed up. It helps to promote lateral praise and normalize mistakes. It’s a time for gratitude or vulnerability, or both!

What are the best ways to manage conflict with your direct reports?
Retaining and developing talent is a key leadership skill, a delicate balance between empathy and objectivity. Consider applying the skill/will matrix, or the four quadrants of performance popularized by Danny Meyer. I’ve found it a useful tool and a guide to balancing the two.

I took an unconventional route to higher education. Instead of amassing $150k+ in debt for an MBA program, I used an academic degree from an elite university to build a curriculum, project, and advisory group from schools of Business, Economics, and Latin American studies. I worked as a TA and graduated with <$10k in student loans, and used the program as a springboard to a career in impact investing.
