The new world of work means some sort of blend of work from anywhere and co-location. Certainly flexibility is the biggest demand employees are making right now. So how to do it well?
In this wrap up of the quarter’s theme on ‘Hybrid Team Success’ we offer five key principles for doing it better.
Leadership fundamentals still apply in building hybrid and remote teams
When it comes to building ANY team, regardless of location and communication platforms, our podcast guests and research agree: we need to take care of the leadership fundamentals.
Why you should listen: leadership principles that are relevant for any context
Transparency needs to make PROCESS and PROGRESS visible. This will make accountability a whole lot easier.
Trust still remains a crucial element of team and leadership success. Follow the code: Get set, get safe, get strong, get success (kudos to George Karseras and Build Better Teams)
Empathy is a leadership skill that will never go out of style, and is needed more than ever in hybrid environments. Be mindful of why and how to overcome it.
We explore the effects of technology on leadership and teams
Technology creates micro-frictions that reduce our ability to get into group flow and be innovative
Build facilitation skills to make sure you don’t leave anyone behind, especially in a hybrid environment.
Work actively on connection- don’t leave it to chance!
