Prioritisation is key, I like the "Urgent/Important matrix". It's worth looking up as you can easily decide what needs to be done now, what needs to be scheduled and what needs to be delegated.

Moving from managing locally to managing remotely is a big step. Often with leadership roles it is almost entirely remote and it's important to practice all types of communication: - Written - Video Call - Vlog or video message - Phone - Face to Face - Presenting

Without effective communication your strategy is essentially just in your head. People start going in different directions and there is not consistent message for people to follow.

It's not only a lack of different sources that can prove a problem but the often inverse corelation between those who shout loudest and those who have something of value to say. It's important to seek feedback from all different areas of your business.

How you communicate your plan is key. You need to be aware of how it impacts others and the parts of the plan that is going to be important to them. Don't be fooled into think everyone will be as excited and onboard with the entire thing as you. There needs to be parts that speak to each group of people.

Be visible, there is no point leading from the front where nobody can see. You'd be surprised what people pick up on watching what you do day in day out. Make sure you're seen.
