Right Fit Leading: Telework Benefits

Companies are trying to determine what “back to work” should look like, and workers are trying to take advantage of the positive work life changes they found in COVID-19. As the workplace changes, we must pay attention to trustworthiness and performance as they relate to telework. Trustworthiness is the quality of a person that inspires reliability. When it exists, behaviors like being respectful, honest, consistent, positive, and selfless will be evident. Managers who follow telework policies developed in response to COVID-19, or developed for other reasons, are building trust. Trust can then grow as emotions are shared and real issues are addressed professionally. View Dr. Brown’s video here.

Right Fit Leading: Leader-Member Exchange Theory

Leader-Member Exchange Theory, or LMX, focuses on dyads, or two-way relationships with members. It requires collaborative engagements leading to specific expectations. This is a way to honor personal goals and dignity and to hold everyone accountable as you build trust in your organization. LMX dyads are used to build effective groups based on an initials skills assessment which may not necessarily be permanent. LMX offers relationships that lead to team building. #leaders #engagement #interaction #trust Watch Dr. Brown’s video here.

Right Fit Leading: Leaders Should Focus on WHY

I appreciate this article from Bob Chapman, CEO, Barry-Wehmiller, titled Building the Case for Caring in Business. Basically, the article talks about how leaders that care about their people can be successful in making the business numbers and the bottom line work in their favor. The best thing I get from my read of this article is that leaders must focus more on WHY people are performing than on WHAT they are doing. Engaging with the reasons people keep going to work puts you in touch with their energy that keeps them performing. I got this courtesy of Dave Bryant, and you read his post on LinkedIn.

Right Fit Leading: 5 Non-Optional Leadership Competencies

I was truly impressed by a LinkedIn post today titled “Five Leadership Competencies That Are Not Optional Anymore.” 1. Leading a remote workforce, 2. Understanding data, 3. Technological acumen, 4. Business intelligence, 5. Preparedness. This is from The Center for Organizational Excellence and is written by Christopher Meadows and Paul Eder. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-david-weiss-93244527_infographics-innovation-leadership-activity-6889547018461622272-7YIG. It contained an excellent infographic shared by Dr. David Weiss and Nicole Valentine, PMP®. I suggested adding \”Leader Engagement\” that focuses on emotional intelligence, empathy, and leader-member exchange theory. Let me know if you want to know more about EI, empathy, or LMX.
