IN AN AGE OF COVID REMOTE WORKING, POWER UP YOUR TEAM BY GIVING TIGHTER BRIEFS

Good leaders inspire confidence in employees to make their own decisions and deliver exceptional results, especially in this age of remote working. Autonomy is important to people, and good leaders give employees a tight framework for freedom of action and decision-making. This is especially important in an age of remote working, when the boss is not on hand all the time to consult with or oversee work. No leader wants to have a team charging off in different directions, dissipating effort and causing friction and misalignment. They can only truly empower people when they are sure that every member of the team fully understands where they are going, how they’re going to get there, what their role is in achieving the vision, and what values will be used to make decisions along the way. Employees with high levels of empowerment have the highest levels of engagement – which shows that autonomy is not only good for the soul, it’s also good for productivity.
