Leading Virtual Teams in a Crisis
Given the potential slowdown in the US
after two years of continuous shocks, remote work remains attractive to many
employees and is also an important retention tool. When working with employees
who are remote/virtual, leaders require different skills to maintain worker
engagement and productivity, make decisions quickly, and communicate
effectively.
Research by The Conference Board on the DNA of Engagement has
identified 12 behaviors of highly engaging leaders that can be tailored for
virtual teams. Key behaviors include reinforcing the organization’s vision,
creating a virtual team contract to maintain work standards and boundaries,
continuing to provide rewards and recognition, and driving personal development
in a virtual environment.
