The lockdowns imposed during the pandemic have pushed many businesses to manage their teams remotely. Now that restrictions are easing up and things are having a semblance of normalcy, some have embraced the “new normal” with people going back to face-to-face activities but with certain safety protocols imposed. Others still work from home, while there are others that adapt hybrid work arrangements.
Strengthening your 2iC as a way of strengthening your business
One of the long-term goals of many business owners is for them to, later on, be more focused ON the business rather than be IN the business. This means that they evolve from doing job execution and daily operations to heavily leaning towards setting strategic directions and vision achievement of the company. To do so, entrepreneurs have to free certain space on their plate so that they can concentrate on growing their business. This is where having an effective 2iC becomes helpful.
Managing conflicts within your business
Disagreements, miscommunications and misunderstandings are never absent in any organisation, even in business teams. There will always be varying opinions and work styles because each individual is different and you cannot always control how they respond to certain situations. But when all these arise into a conflict, how do you handle them so that the entire team is not affected and work will not be jeopardised?
Best practices on building good teamwork while working remotely
In this era of working remotely, getting your team to stay constantly connected and build a stronger relationship and dynamics is important to keep everyone going and motivated. The big question, however, is how? What are the things you need to do to enable you and your team to work together to achieve your business goals despite the challenges and limitations of distance and time?
Building your team through a strong corporate culture
Having a strong and desirable corporate culture helps attract and retain good talents who perhaps share the same values with you and the people in your organisation. Every company has its own culture, and although not all corporate cultures are perfect, there’s something about it that draws the right individuals to your business.
