In this episode, Vibe Check’s host Brett Martin sits down with Dr. David Burkus, organizational psychologist and bestselling author, to discuss how to build stronger remote teams. Brett and David discuss relevant topics such as remote worker visibility, Zoom fatigue, remote-first initiatives, collaboration tools, burst communication, and best management practices.

David also delves deep into remote work productivity, postulating that presence does not equal productivity. Rather, David measures productivity based on how well teams can “work outloud”, striking the perfect balance of team communication and individual focus time. Additionally, David hones in on the importance of work-life integration over rigid work-life balance, and how flexibility coupled with resiliency distinguish a successful remote worker.

Dr. David Burkus is an organizational psychologist and a true expert in guiding managers to build better teams. Over his career, David has worked with leaders from Google, Fidelity, Viacom and the US Naval Academy. He is also a bestselling author of 4 books on topics of business and leadership, and has been featured in various publications, such as Harvard Business Review, CNN, BBC, WSJ, NPR, and others.

Brett Martin is an entrepreneur, leader, and investor in the future of work, who serves as the Cofounder of Kumospace, General Partner at Charge Ventures, and Adjunct Professor at Columbia Business School.
