Someone recently asked me about being a leader or peer leader for a team that’s half in the office and half working from home. To be clear, he’s not their boss but is a kind of peer leader at work, and he wanted to get better at helping everyone feel included and part of the team.
You see, the people working from home didn't feel included. They didn't have a voice and didn't feel like part of the team.
That's a problem. That's a BIG problem.
This guy wants to be a leader people want to follow. In order to be that person, he's trying to help other people feel included, listened to, heard, and like they're part of the team, even when they work from home.

This sounds exactly like the dynamic I had as a Product Manager - a sort of peer leader - when half my team was in the office and the other half worked from home from all over the United States and, at one point, around the world. We had people from all different time zones.
After some tinkering, we had one of the most sought-after teams in the company. People asked to work on our team. So how did we create a thriving team dynamic that included everyone, in person and remote?
