Remote Leadership Series Episode 4: What's it like to be promoted to management in a remote environment?

Midwesternish: A Podcast

In this episode we explore the topic of promotions during a pandemic. With millions of Americans currently out of work, it can seem strange to discuss promotions. However, at several high-growth companies, promotions are still occurring. Such is the case for Spring Venture Group, which just announced a 400 person hiring surge due to increasing demand for its insurance products.

Join us as we explore this topic with three newly promoted managers at Spring Venture Group. Peyton McNeil, Jordan Criddle, and Blaine Fisher have just been promoted from the role of sales agent to sales manager and will begin managing new sales teams in June.

In addition to discussing the new hurdles of becoming a manager in a fully remote environment, we also discuss their own leadership philosophies, using this time before they formally begin their roles as an opportunity to articulate their own management beliefs.
