In this second episode of our 4-part series looking at Maximising Hybrid Working, we focus on how to enable effective teamwork. Whether fully remote, or mixing in working from home days with in-office days, successful teamwork makes the difference for sustaining success during the ups and downs of change or disruption, and for maintaining operational performance under pressure or setback.
Feeling part of a team impacts retention, seeing the energy and buzz from a good team influences attraction and how a team interacts behind the screens with each other is the workplace culture in reality. The stronger the team relationships, the more challenge, innovation and collaboration is possible. If no-one really knows each other, then they cant trust each other. And as we discuss with Lencioni's 5 Dysfunctions of a Team, trust is the foundation for team success. We share top tips for enabling trust to form when working hybrid - a 5 min check-in chat can transform the quality of conversation that happens. We revisit Tuckman's Team Dynamic Model and re-purpose Beckhard's GRIP model to give a handy 'strip it back to basics' approach for those looking to bring a fresh clarity and energy to a team:
Strategic: where are we heading as a team?
Tactical: what does this mean for our now and near focus areas?
Roles: who is doing what and does everyone know who the 'go-to' person is?
Interactions: how and when will we meet/catch up as a team - SLA of expectations?
Processes: how do we do what we do and is everyone clear (internal and external?)
A useful listen for those wanting to focus on the team effectiveness, culture and external reputation.
