Overview
Answering that question is the central theme of the Bose Better Connected podcast. This podcast series features leaders from diverse fields discussing how to solve challenges around remote collaboration and effective communication in a virtual world.
In this second episode, Justin O’Connor, Category Marketing Manager at Bose, welcomes former NASA astronaut and U.S. Navy Captain and test pilot Scott Kelly.
Tune in to see how Scott applies his experience of communicating and interacting in unique and challenging scenarios as well as staying productive in remote environments — most notably outer space.
Of course, clear communication at a distance was critical to his missions and the challenges he and his team faced. Chief among those challenges? Isolation, which is something a growing number of people have experienced firsthand.
Scott discusses the role of technology in facilitating communication with those back on Earth and what it’s like to foster a team culture when thousands of miles separate your team. He touches specifically on maintaining clarity around roles and responsibilities in a remote chain of command. Finally, he shares the top lessons on communication that any group can apply to their situation.
