What is the biggest challenge facing leaders today?
This being a tough year, the leaders need to set goals in short term sprints. They must acknowledge that bouncing back is not going to take place overnight. Also they need to be compassionate towards employees facing the hardships of pandemic and must not expect them to commit long term. However, keeping them constantly engaged while producing results is equally important. Thus, breaking down annual goals into short term realistic targets will keep them motivated and will also give opportunities to celebrate success with employees. Such small moments of celebration will go a long way in keeping the team together and positive. This way leaders will be able to manage their own fatigue too along with that of the teams.
