The Coronavirus – The Best Virtual Leadership Development You’ll Get!

Recently LinkedIn had an article entitled “Is this Remote Work’s Big Moment?”. The writer proposed that because many companies are asking their employees to work from home in light of the Coronavirus situation, it could be the tipping point for companies to embrace the policies more widely.

Well, I don’t know about whether its remote work’s big moment….

But I know that as a leader of remote employees, it can be yours!

Your big moment to …..
– Ensure your employees don’t get too isolated
– Be more intentional about following through on commitments you make to your team
– Increase your visibility to the team
– Quickly resolve any issues impacting work performance
– Clearly set expectations and then do spot checks
– Enhance your individual relationship connection with each person
– Reinforce that all “belong” by holding virtual team meetings often
– Let go and trust
– Ensure that all have the technical resources they need to conduct virtual work
– Make ad hoc “pick up the phone and reach out” calls
– Take note of your own reactions and manage your own emotions
– Not micro-manage
– Learn how to use the technologies that support remote work
