Recalibration: Balancing Productivity with Compassion
The ways we’ve always worked are changing quickly, and leaders will need to balance productivity needs with compassion for employees who are facing considerable distraction, stress, fear and loneliness. Learn how to recalibrate expectations and communication norms to achieve business results and ensure those who remain remote don’t get left behind or feel penalized.
Resilience: Building Resilient Teams
Our lives won’t magically go ‘back to normal’, and many are discovering that their previous coping strategies are simply no match for the pandemic. Individually and as a team, they will need to learn how to self-advocate, support self-care, collaborate and communicate effectively in distributed work settings, and determine how to ‘pull the cord’ when things get out of control.
Results: Creating accountable, outcomes-focused teams
Agility, speed of decision-making, the ability to acknowledge mistakes and pivot, strong contingency plans, and accountability all require that the foundation of trust and vulnerability exists to support each team member in bringing their best to the table. Business results will be faster, stronger, and better sustained as the leadership develops a culture of high trust, accountability, and results-oriented practices.
Recharge: Creating safety and connection for long-term success
Psychological safety is one of the hallmarks of the most successful teams. Investing in building this foundation of safety, based on a culture of inclusion, will drive long-term success, retention of top talent, and sustained growth.
