Episode 76: Making Virtual Work WORK with Dr. Betty Johnson

Published: Dec. 15, 2021, 2 a.m.

Betty Johnson is a woman on a mission\u2014a mission to get leaders to wake up and take notice of what the real problems are with working remotely. Despite the endless conversations about \u201cZoom fatigue\u201d and \u201ccamera anxiety,\u201d and a smattering of books on the topic, no one has written a definitive analysis of the problem, or evidence-based solutions.\xa0

In Making Virtual Work: How to Build Performance and Relationships, Dr. Johnson takes an unflinching look at the oft self-centered and egotistical practices of leaders that suck the life out of remote workers. Her meticulous research and survey of 405 real-life virtual workers lay bare the myriad clueless behaviors that drive virtual workers to fury and despair, and maybe even to quitting their jobs. Her unflinching look at remote work and simple, direct language explaining the problems, along with practical, actionable solutions will be an eye-opener, and maybe even an \u201couch,\u201d for any manager wishing to improve their workers\u2019 lot.

This slim volume is an invaluable resource for any leader who genuinely wishes to tackle remote-meeting fatigue. In refreshingly succinct and down-to-earth language,\xa0 Making Virtual Work provides a surprisingly practical and straightforward process any leader can adopt and leverage to stop the soul-stifling drain of remote work, while wringing value out of every minute spent in a virtual or hybrid meeting.
