Flight Template Series: Navigating Hybrid Work
Lead in your Presence and Absence
Categories
Description
Leadership is about empowering other people as a result of your presence—and making sure that impact continues in your absence. A successful hybrid environment is defined by workflows and practices that empower team members to be effective wherever they are working. These new, more flexible models of working do not simply replicate onsite practices or layer new technologies onto existing processes. Instead, they redesign workflows to take advantage of new technologies, respond to the varying needs of people, and promote creativity and freedom of action. Use this flight with your team to reimagine work, increase remote engagement, and drive deeper understanding of team members’ needs and experiences.
