TMBA 605: What Makes a Great Remote Employee?
This week's episode was inspired by a question from a listener.Katie recently graduated with her master's degree, and while she appreciated the insight that we've shared in the past about how to get a remote job, she wanted to know more about what it takes to succeed at a remote position once you get it.This got our wheels spinning, and we put together a list of five important factors that can help employees become "A Players" in their remote positions.
