The ‘Tomorrow’s Leaders’ study, from Henley Management College, shows that managers skills are not keeping pace with the reality of flexible and remote working.

• 73% of managers say flexible working is common in their organisation,
• 37% now look after teams who are either entirely or predominantly based away from the office.
• 44% of respondents say managers are unprepared for the supervision of remote teams
• only 25% had received any training on how to manage such a team.
• 75% of managers believe remote workers are more productive,
• 90% say they trust their remote employees (but a third also want to monitor their employees closely - just to make sure.)
