When Will My Team Get Back to Where They Were Before the Pandemic

Guy Leave a Comment

By Guy Harris In recent Bud to Boss workshops, I have been getting a question similar to the title of this post in several ways. While the questions are not always phrased the same way, they tend the same direction: longing for a return to “normal” as we reach the end of pandemic-imposed lockdowns, shutdowns, and isolation.

Getting Clear on Your Relationship Building Expectations

Guy Leave a Comment

relationships

by Guy Harris In 20 years of working to help leaders grow their skills, I have yet to meet a leader who did not understand the need to be clear about their expectations with their team.

Picking Alternatives to Email

Guest Blogger Leave a Comment

by Wayne Turmel New leaders rely on the skills we had as teammates and the habits that made us successful. But what if there’s one thing you did that wasn’t as productive as you thought it was, and now is a great time to change? We’re talking about the over use and abuse of email. As team members, there’s a pretty good chance we were “that person.” You know, the one who … [Read more...]

Transitioning to Your Leadership Role with a Hybrid Team

Guy Leave a Comment

hybrid team

by Guy Harris The transition from individual contributor to leader calls for changes in at least three areas of your work life: your relationships, your skills, and your mindset.
