Course overview
Hybrid leadership is here to stay – learn habits to help you succeed 🚀
In a world of hybrid and remote work, you need new habits and tools.
Make every remote interaction strengthen trust, psychological safety, and team spirit.
Give your team the clarity to drive their roles proactively, so you can focus on strategic leadership topics.
This course is for you if...
01
You lead remotely at least part of the time
Build trust, offer clarity, and enable great performance, wherever you are.
02
You struggle to make time for the big picture
Spend less time managing people. Focus more on strategic topics and coaching.
03
You're sick of hard-to-implement advice that doesn't stick
Learn simple habits and tools that you can use right away and in the long run.
This course will allow you to...
Avoid common mistakes in your written communication that would erode psychological safety and team spirit
Written communication is a key channel for leading remotely, but unintended trust-bruising misunderstandings are all too common – often without the lead even noticing.
Learn to follow simple habits and write in a way that builds trust and connection, with every message.
Avoid unfocused and energy-draining video meetings and calls
When you're not face to face with your team, remote meetings will form the other major avenue for interacting with your team.
Learn the simple structures, principles, and meeting habits to make these encounters energizing and outcome oriented.
Foster more ownership, autonomy, and growth for your team.
Enable everyone to take full ownership of their roles by creating total clarity around expectations.
This not only fuels their professional growth, but also allows you to focus more on oft-ignored topics like your own development, strategic leadership work, and coaching.
Build trust, understanding, and a sense of connection in your team, wherever they are
Trust and connection are vital success factors for any high-performing team, but especially so in a remote or hybrid setting.
From high-five meetings to effective 1-on-1s, you'll learn simple methods to understand your team's challenges and help them feel like one team.
Provide concrete, clarity-giving tools to your team: co-create a Communication Charter, Strength Profiles, and a foundational Role-Structure
You'll get step-by-step guidance and ready-to-use templates to co-create foundational tools with your team.
These and the habits you'll pick up will have an immediate impact, as well as continue to bring value long after the course has finished.

Ben Hughes
I'm a former management consultant and startup leader with a decade of hybrid leadership experience. I had the honor of building up the content team at Blinkist, the Berlin-based nonfiction learning app that has tens of millions of users and has won awards from Apple, Google, and the UN.
I'm proudest of the fact that despite the mostly remote setting, we built a team together that not only hit its targets year after year and delivered amazing content, but was such a great place to work that nobody wanted to leave: in ten years, in a team that grew to 20 people strong, only one (!) person ever left. This turnover rate was so low that other companies literally didn’t believe us – they called it a “statistical impossibility.”
And in this course, I promise to share the simple yet effective habits and tools that will allow your team to defy statistics too.
I've also co-authored a book on the subject of new work, titled "The Loop Approach," and I base many of the tools in the course on it.
Course syllabus
01
Module: Communication Pt. 1 – Written messages
Excellent leadership requires excellent communication.
When you're not face to face with your team, the importance of written interactions is amplified.
You'll learn simple habits and rules to formulate messages that build psychological safety and team spirit, time after time.
02
Module: Communication Pt. 2 – Meetings and your team's Communication Charter
Make the most of the other major channel you have for interacting with your team: meetings. You'll pick up habits to make them energizing and outcome-oriented, instead of draining.
What's more, you'll be guided to co-create a Communication Charter with your team to promote effective communication.
03
Module: Building trust and a sense of connection
The less face-to-face time your team has, the harder it is to build trust and a sense of connection.
In this module, you'll learn habits and tools like Strength Profiles for building trust, understanding, and a sense of connection in your team, wherever they are.
04
Module: Providing clarity to drive ownership
Learn to create a Role- and Accountability-based structure with your team to make expectations explicit. This enables everyone to take ownership of their roles and work proactively to fulfill them.
It also allows you to focus less on managing people, and more on topics like strategic planning, coaching, and your own development.
