🪞 Reflect

When it comes to managing employees on your remote or hybrid teams, what are your biggest pain points? 

💡 Concept

Some of the most challenging aspects of leading remote and hybrid teams include managing performance, providing support, and guiding employees to align their behaviors with team values. Then there’s the added hurdle of doing all of the above without developing bad micromanagement habits. Here are four ways to address these challenges: 

🚀 Boost Remote Performance Management

Managing remote employees can be especially difficult for anyone used to managing an in-office team. Make sure your performance management habits are remote-first, which will serve all members of your distributed or hybrid team. Learn more here. 

✅ Balance Async & Sync Support for Direct Reports

👍 Make Culture Transparent and Aligned in Remote and Hybrid Teams

Work culture is composed of the shared values and beliefs that shape the intentions, practices, and interactions of the team. Beyond identifying your mission and values, building and maintaining a positive culture in a distributed environment requires leaders to set clear expectations about behaviors, attitudes, rituals, language, and feedback.
