Bringing focus to intentional behavior in remote team leadership with John Riordan Teammate Apart Podcast

    • Management

Hey there and welcome to the season 3 finale of the Teammate Apart Podcast. I just want to quickly thank everyone who participated in the show this season, both guests, and listeners who have been willing to share the good work we’re doing here with their friends, families, professional networks, and hopefully anyone who could benefit from the perspectives and knowledge shared by our contributors. Hot off the heels of COVID, I think this show, and others like it, and the individuals who have joined us here to share their great wealths of knowledge have done a real service to a world experiencing drastic change, and I am thrilled to add the voice of today’s guest to the soapbox from which we’ve been shouting.

Today’s special guest is the incredible John Riordan. John is the director of support at Shopify, chairman at Grow Remote, and a figure with a well-documented history of making impactful contributions to the world of remote work.

John’s prior employers are a veritable whose-who of progressive companies with whom he has been wildly influential in their integration of remote work strategies. From US Airways to Virgin Atlantic, to Apple, and now Shopify his experience as a results-oriented international customer service leader has proven invaluable in showing how remote work works at scale.

John joins us today for a much needed — and much anticipated — conversation about intentionality and how it can make or break a company’s approach to remote work, developing a culture of trust on distributed teams, how the role of remote-team leaders have evolved, rapidly in recent years, and so much more, please join me in welcoming to the show, John Riordan.
