At Home Credit, our leaders are recommending the following tips to accommodate your leadership style and take care of your team member's well-being in this changing period. Here's what you need to know to manage a team.
1. Reset expectations:
- Rethink how work gets done and allow members to complete the task on their terms by offering more flexibility.
- Encourage the whole team to practice a focused-on-result mindset.
2. Stay in touch:
- Use instant messaging for keeping connected and frequent check-ins within 10-15 minutes at least three times a day.
- Make team video meetings every day and rotate the ownership of running the conversations.
3. Cultivate an optimistic mind:
- Help your team members find happiness and motivation under challenging conditions.
- Tell team members to spend this time learning online tools or stimulating innovative actions.
4. Continually gauge stress and engagement levels:
- Take time to monitor the engagement by periodically asking each team member about their concerns.
- If anyone misunderstands information, managers need to give explanations and advice on next steps.
