LEADERSHIP STRATEGIES IN UNPRECEDENTED TIMES

Creating a productive, engaged and sustainable ‘remote’ high performing team is presenting challenges for most business leaders.

Many managers will be responsible for leading a team remotely without prior experience at this. It can be a daunting prospect especially because their team members are also experiencing very mixed reactions to the continuous threat the virus represents to their health as well as the financial and social impacts.

Leaders need to be prepared to support their staff in both the psychological safety as well as the physical aspects of working remotely. They will also need to generate ways to ensure the engagement, communication and performance of their team.

Research shows there are many positive aspects of working remotely such as autonomy, flexibility and reduced commute times, but there is also increased uncertainty, social isolation and collaboration challenges.
