As an Online Business Manager, I help several clients “manage” and “lead” their team. While I love what I do, leading does have its challenges. Here are a few tips to keep your team happy
Leaders are responsible for making their team feel supported. A leader must engage in five kinds of behavior that have been proven to be effective in the virtual working environment.
1.) Monitors the team’s work effectively and gives feedback and reactions to the problems by understanding the root.
2.) Provides support to a team member’s decision-making and actions
3.) Helps lessen the stressful situations for those working with them and socializes with the team members.
4.) Recognizes good works of the individual.
5.) Consults subordinates about their work and is open to the ideas and opinions of each.
A team’s interaction with one another is negative when the leader is engaged in the three kinds of ineffective actions which are
1.) ineffectively monitors the work and displays an inadequate comprehension of their team’s capabilities and provides negative and non-constructive feedback and delay on the checking of the status of work.
2.) failure to clarify objectives and roles by giving assignments that aren’t the responsibilities of a team member and
3.) ineffectively dealing with problems at hand.
Therefore, leader must be on top of his game when it comes to the responsibilities of each team member. By being updated on the situation, they will have an easier time coming up with a solution when a problem arises. This makes it easier for the team and the leader as well.
By supporting each individual member, they will be able to reach out to them in ways that they would like from a leader. By sympathizing with each member, the leader gets to know him and her on both a personal and professional level that will be beneficial to the team.
