Leading Remote Work-teams with Kelly Featheringham

In today’s episode, I have an informative and very insightful conversation with Kelly Featheringham about leadership. Kelly is an executive leadership coach and is based just outside Washington DC in the United States. Kelly works with teams and individuals to help them with their team dynamics. Leadership, according to Kelly is that leaders are people that support others and recognize that failure is common but help each other to resolve problems as a collective. She does not really think that leadership is an innate quality, it’s something that one learns, and some people are more inclined to it than others. In this conversation, we also discuss remote teams and the different dynamics that come with managing remote teams. Her journey as a leader began when she worked for the government where she led different teams located in different parts of the world.  According to Kelly, great leaders are great because they want to be great, she advises that if you want to be great as a leader keep learning, and keep trying. As a leader, you should be mindful of how you communicate your assumptions, boundaries, and communications because they show up every day. Lastly, she advises that you must value the power of a team, don’t stand alone, and be a productive and supportive member of a team.
