James Dooley speaks with Mads Singers about managing staff in office environments versus remote teams because communication breaks down when structure is missing. James Dooley and Mads Singers explain why strong managers succeed in both settings while weak managers rely on physical proximity to compensate for poor leadership. The discussion focuses on weekly one to ones, performance conversations, future career development, and why remote teams fail when leaders do not adapt their management style. The episode also explains why leadership training matters as teams scale globally and why management is a different skill from individual contribution.
