Hybrid Work | Leading teams in a hybrid workplace

Experiences over the last 18-months have had a dramatic impact on us all. As we figure out returning to the workplace, and energising our teams, as leaders we will be faced with challenges.

It is important to recognise that we are all unique and some will need more time to adjust than others. We need to consider culture, diversity, how each team member responds to change, plus individual and team motivation.

Working across cultures

Global teams work across cultures and languages, being mindful of different ways of working is crucial. During a recent coaching session for a team representing several different countries, it became clear that everyone had different ways of expressing themselves. The leader set the tone by publicly acknowledging the situation, demonstrating empathy towards those that may need it. By doing this, others followed, and the team supported one another through the transition.
