(o(team) + o(influence)) * r

Here's how to read the previous equation.

• The first part is just the management equation that we introduced earlier. It’s the sum of the output (o) of their team and the output of those they influence.
• The second part is a representation of their ability to adapt their skills and output to remote working (r). It can scale the previous part of the equation up or down. If they have no idea how to manage their team remotely and stay connected to others, we could imagine the scale factor being something like 0.1, thus diminishing their output. However, if the opposite is true, and they’re using all of the techniques we’re learning in this book to their full effect, we could imagine them having an even wider influence, thus scaling their output as a manager to 2, 3, 10, or beyond.
