Another “New Normal” ? 

“How to manage a hybrid team.” “Leading in a hybrid work environment.” “Managing virtually.” The “new normal.” These have become the catch phrases of organizational life since the world turned upside down in 2020. But as cliched as the “new normal” sounds, it’s really true. We are in a different place than we were two years ago, a year ago, even six months ago. And managers are still trying to figure out how to get work done and manage their teams who are spread out across the state or even the country.

Remember back before the pandemic when all managing was done in person? That was no piece of cake and we had been doing it for years. Then came COVID and remote working. Suddenly managers had to oversee teams that were completely virtual. They had to learn new communication tools and styles, and create new routines to stay in touch with their people. Now, with people getting “Zoom fatigue,” there’s more phone calls than virtual meetings, so it’s harder to read body language. It’s harder to understand tone and texture, so it’s harder to build meaningful relationships. Certainly, trying to build a team with people who are physically located in different places – some in the office, some virtual, some hybrid – makes managing people more difficult than ever.

Why is Culture Important Now?

By Chuck (Charlie) Mollor, CEO, MCG Partners

Over the past two years our world has changed dramatically. The disruptions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic have changed the way we work and live. They have forced businesses to regroup and rethink their products and services, strategies and, most of all, how to keep employees engaged and productive.

Dozens of studies, surveys and research since the beginning of the pandemic describe the seismic changes in the workplace. The shift to remote and hybrid working. Employees reexamining their priorities and taking a hard look at their work/life balance (a.k.a., the “Great Resignation,” or the “Great Reflection”). And millions of workers leaving the workplace altogether, causing an intense talent shortage.

The challenge for today’s leaders is to provide stability amid this constant change. A tall order. Stability, however, needs a framework and culture is that framework.
