Progress

At the beginning of this project, I took advice from an amazing and incredibly thoughtful person who’s in a TEI cohort ahead of me. I created a centralized place for all of my raw notes as I research promotions in the age of COVID-19 and #WFH. I promised that I would maintain it and contribute to the notes in real-time as I worked.

Today, I found a paragraph that I typed roughly a month ago. It was just a blurb that I had floating around in my brain.

Landing promotions within our newly-remote companies could necessitate a change in the way we present ourselves virtually and the “reputation” we cultivate within our remote teams.

As I read The Experience Economy by Joseph Pine and James Gilmore, and as I look through the notes, articles, and interview answers I’ve compiled, it’s amazing how many dotted lines seem to be appearing for this idea.

”A change in the way we present ourselves virtually”: seems to go perfectly with evolving our leadership style for our new remote work environments.

”A reputation we cultivate within our teams”: this is the “experience” of us that we want our colleagues, supervisors, and senior leaders to encounter and appreciate.

I want to test this somehow. It’s one thing to dig at this idea and write about it. But I want to see if there’s actual substance to it.
