Podcast #14 | Rachel Garrett | Shopify | Authentic leadership in a remote first customer service team

In this episode we talk to Rachel Garrett, who delivers some invaluable insights and tips into leadership in a remote working world.  

Perhaps the biggest one is to make being a genuine and authentic person your first priority and using that to influence your approach to work and leadership but she shares many more. Rachel Garrett is the NZ Lead for Shopify's Servicing team and is the creator of a remote working collaboration group on LinkedIn called Remote Work New Zealand find it here https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13805842  

The (many) highlights:  

- Authentic leadership through finding your personal purpose and values - How knowing what you want from your life and career allows you to take some risks

- Scaleable Leadership: developing a leadership mindset in all your people, not just those with the title of leader 

- Building the social connections you would normally see in a bricks and mortar office, in a remote environment by being deliberate about how your teams share and connect

- The Trust battery: how to build trust and call out behaviours that break trust 

- Turning your purpose into outcomes that your teams can own and achieve 

- Keeping KPI's relevant and using them as a prompt for coaching rather than an absolute pass or fail indicator

Self-organising teams - greater than the sum of their parts

Self-organising teams - greater than the sum of their parts

The thought of 'self-organising teams' can be scary, chaos and anarchy are often associated with this idea.

Think of it as a principle of the way teams can work and collaborate, rather than a structural change.

Find your edge and turn constraints into opportunities

Find your edge and turn constraints into opportunities

Our ability to adapt and respond quickly when faced with constraints is always being tested.

Constraints can suck but they lead to exciting new realities.

Creating value within these constraints delivers secondary benefits when paradigms are busted, new capabilities are developed and we forge new mindsets. We find our edge.
