OW SERIES: Day 13 – Leaders have one job right now

Social support is the first line of defence against psychological distress at work. In these times of teleworking, a manager’s primary role is not to monitor performance but to maintain the quality of connection.

It is by taking care of what unites us today (despite the distance) that we may re-discover the path to performance tomorrow.

OW SERIES: Day 12 – An opportunity to manage differently

Teleworking has brought about an opportunity to manage differently. Psychology teaches us that management based on trust increases productivity, engagement, and quality of life. How do we do it? By setting objectives to be achieved rather than by controlling the amount of time employees are online. It means allowing everyone to be autonomous, to allow colleagues to get to know each other well enough to organise themselves optimally.

Those who sow seeds of trust today will reap greater performance tomorrow. Those who plant seeds of mistrust will reap seeds of distrust.
