Covid-19 has introduced unprecedented challenges for managers who may now be managing a remote team or a team adapting to ever-changing circumstances amidst the pandemic. Leaders need new tools to keep their team productive, engaged, and aligned.
Related: The Manager's Toolbox is an easy-to-use portal where leaders can build personalized job aids in 10 minutes or less.
Focus on what you can control as a leader. Here’s what your team needs from you right now:
Clearly communicate the most important priorities. In check-ins and conversations with staff, state what needs to get done, why, and by what date. Help your team prioritize, especially as you pivot to accommodate changing circumstances—and manage urgent requests more closely.
Tools:
Be flexible about when and how the work gets done as long as deadlines are met. Staff need your encouragement to exercise autonomy when making decisions about work-life balance and their working preferences.
Tools:
Remind team members of the “why” behind their work and recognize team members when they exemplify the organization’s mission and values.
Tools:
Create space for team collaboration and feedback with effective and engaging virtual meetings and social events.
