Leadership Coaching Trends Post COVID

(What I am hearing from my clients)

1. Get Used to Managing Remotely

While this may require you to develop your management skills differently, it can be extremely rewarding for your workforce and a great retention tool. The key will be how to ensure production. Keep in mind the following when making remote working your new normal:

1. Create self-accountability by inspiring your staff to own their production.
2. Establish clear expectations and tasks and reevaluate them regularly.
3. Set up open channels of communication with regular get togethers.

2. Being comfortable with being uncomfortable and uncertain.

Accept that change is regularly occurring due to someone somewhere disrupting your market. Develop your agility muscle and look for ways to lead regardless of what is tossed your way.

3. Keeping up with the latest trends, forecasts and technology in your industry.

This is the time for continuous learning. Build it into your calendar.

4. Embracing flex time by investing in technology that allows for production wherever and whenever your staff is working.

Be honest with yourself. Are you looking for hours worked or results?

5. Develop your staff for the future with regular training.

This leads to differentiation and a true competitive edge.

6. Integrating your executive role into your remote capabilities.

Hold your executive presence the same as if you were in person. This applies to dress, work-space, and all communication. Become a zoom expert by attending one of their training sessions. Continue to develop your team and reach out to those you are forming or have significant relationships with. This is not a time to be out of sight or out of mind.
