CARING FOR TEAM CULTURE IS A NECESSITY, NOT A LUXURY

In my work with remote and hybrid teams, the need for leadership around team culture, connection and effectiveness is essential for success - and often, this is one of the most challenging areas for leadership to focus.
Here are three opportunities to get you thinking about what your team (whether you're leading one or part of one) may need.

• This article from HBR is packed with insight on team retreats/off-sites and includes a 60-day plan.

• Shared here are Adam Grant's 7 rules for Hybrid teams.

• If you are still wondering if culture is a necessity (or need to help your organization realize this), read and watch this material from the Arbinger Institute. The three principles for aligning culture and strategy are great resources.

THE PRACTICE

Reflect - 

• How does your team currently take care of its culture and build connection?

• Where may there be opportunities to infuse more intention into what's needed?

• What resources and support would it take to make this happen?
