Culture is not the sole responsibility of executives or HR. Culture is everyone’s business and everyone’s responsibility. Here are several tips and questions to consider.
The five behaviors of a cohesive team—trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results—remain the same. But in the virtual environment and during times of crisis, they can show up in different ways. That means leaders must show up in different ways, too.
Trust must be actively built and earned. Here are actionable steps team leaders and team members can take to increase trust within their teams.
Good leaders aren't afraid to listen to their teams, looking for signs of an erosion of trust in their leadership and in them as people. They aren't afraid of asking for help and working with a coach to build their leadership skills.
High-trust teams outperform those lower in trust. Virtual teams can struggle with trusting each other, but trust can be built.
Leaders who recognize the good work of a team—as a team—contribute greatly to the motivation levels and cohesion of that team. And teams that are ignored or devalued expend far too much energy having to build each other up, attempting to move beyond negative emotions like frustration and resentment.
All teams benefit by making their rules of engagement explicit. Consider posting these rules or guidance in a shared location, or post them in chat before a video conference.
