Great managers are trained to lead and manage according to your company’s expectations, not by hoping they figure it out by “winging it.” Here is the deal: managers must connect with their employees, provide ongoing feedback, and communicate in a manner that the employees understand.
If you want to cultivate a great culture, regardless of whether your workers are in-person, remote, or a hybrid mix of the two, you must take deliberate action. Organizations are responsible for rethinking leadership and management approaches, redefining roles and responsibilities, innovating communication methods, and enhancing how we connect and engage.
Managers are tasked with guiding their team’s tactical work tasks with empathy, clear communication, and a dedication to creating a space where each employee feels appreciated, supported, and integral to the team’s success. Managers must establish relationships with each individual team member, offer regular feedback (a few times a year is not going to cut it anymore), and communicate in ways that resonate with each individual.
