Leading Hybrid Teams
Leaders thought everything would soon be back to normal.
They were wrong.
I remember discussing remote work with my colleagues in March before the first lockdown. One said remote work was the future of work. The other thought it would never be possible as teamwork would deteriorate.
Who was right?
Both. After two to three years of remote work, many teams struggle to find a balance between WFH and WFO.
Leaders have tolerated special circumstances but lost touch with their teams. To fix it, your teams are forced to come to the office 2-3 days a week. Despite this, being present at the office is not the only way to deal with team challenges.
This management guide helps leaders rethink ways how to lead hybrid teams. Work hasn't changed. Although neither did the teams, leaders must find a way to engage with their teams to improve teamwork and communication.
There will always be some hiccups, but the key is to create and maintain team spirit. Collaboration is what you seek, not perfection.
