                You can find the notes and links for this episode here https://blog.coach.me/peter-benei-leadership-anywhere/


                In this episode with Peter Benei, we talked about the following:

                • The first 10 years of his career were separated into two distinct phases, in-office and remote.
                • He moved to London for a more global view and to prove that he was capable of working in advertising in the center of the world.
                • During his time in London, he saw more and more people working remotely.
                • Hybrid: there is an office or location, part of the employees go to the office and another part works remotely
                • Remote: when people are free from the location, but work at the same time. They work synchronously.
                • Async: when people work location and time independently.
                • We make bad decisions because we have a time limitation or information limitation.
                • You can avoid these bad decisions by writing down the problem and a
                  • suggestion on how you would resolve it, then you share it with other
                  people, allowing them to contribute, and having a short meeting to make
                  the decision together. (check the book for a great explanation)
                • You create great documentation for your organisation on these types of decisions.
                • With asynchronous decision-making making, you have a focused documented meeting at the end.
                • Leading a team that operates remotely, requires you to talk less and
                  • listen more, be more transparent by documenting everything, and be
                  supportive of your team.

                  Peter Benei is the founder of Anywhere Consulting, a boutique

                  business and management consulting company specializing in operations
                  and growth strategies for B2B companies.

                  He is the author of Leadership Anywhere, how to become a better asynchronous leader book,

                  the host of the Leadership Anywhere podcast, and the creator of
                  Anywhere Hub, a resource library and community for managers of remote
                  companies.

                  He has worked remotely as a growth leader since 2014 for global

                  startups and led companies to seed & Series A funding or a
                  successful exit. He has a background in advertising and worked at
                  agencies with Fortune 500 brands in London and Budapest.
