These are uncertain times that we tread on as we try to carefully navigate our way through a pandemic of such unprecedented proportions that the entire world is seeing economies collapse, sickness all over and death as they have never before. What we are potentially looking at is a changed world post pandemic, but while we are still battling this, it is important that we take the time to provide the right coaching for our teams so that businesses can continue. Here are some tips.
In this new work-from-home environment, free from the normal work scripts, many of us need to ask some basic questions such as, “What is my job now? How do I go about helping my organisation succeed? What do I want out of my career?” The answers might not be the same as they were a month ago. Discuss with employees whether any of the basic elements of their work have changed or will change. Get them to prioritise whom they are trying to serve and what they need from you in order to be effective. This type of conversation can provide the clarity needed to personalise our work’s purpose better than an organisation’s vision or mission statement, which is often so grand that employees have difficulty connecting it to their daily tasks.
Leaders should go out of their way to talk with employees about their strengths and how they can use them in their new way of working. What abilities and talents would they like to use more in their work in the weeks, months, and years ahead? What would they like to learn? This type of job crafting allows us to play to our strengths; letting our unique interests, perspectives, and background guide how we do our work and the value we add to the organisation. Your “best self” starts to determine the way you work, and work becomes more exciting.
Some of your team members may be looking around and wondering how their colleagues are keeping it together while they’re losing sleep and unable to be productive. Encourage them to have some self-compassion and acknowledge that stress is a normal, physiological response to feeling out of control or threatened. Help staff recognise that change can bring about a lack of agency which can send our brains and bodies into overdrive. If you’re feeling stressed, admit it, or talk about previous situations in which you’ve felt anxiety, so they know they’re not alone.
Research has shown that even small rituals and routines can reduce stress and improve performance, as can incremental progress toward clearly defined goals. You might also give people more flexibility in dictating their work schedule, so long as you encourage them to plan in advance and make an agreement that the performance expectations remain the same.
While you do all this, you could also keep yourself educated and updated on the latest skills in leading a business and strategic management that could help you with your business.
