"98 percent of employees disengage when they receive little or no feedback. Nearly two out of three employees say they would increase their efforts if they were recognized through feedback." The power of feedback is absolutely off the charts. Frequent, helpful feedback engages employees and increases their effort. "92 percent of workers are more likely to repeat a specific action if they are recognized positively." Recognizing employees for their efforts drastically increases the chances they will repeat a positive action. The question is, how do you do this effectively with remote workers? Combine public praise with one-on-one reinforcement. Getting everyone excited about a win creates positive feelings throughout the team. With remote feedback, it's best to do this over a video call or at least a phone call, followed up by email. Using only text like email or chat means a bigger opportunity for misconstrued communication. #hr #teams #business

"Process does not sustain affection." Effective leadership in a work environment, particularly in models like remote work, heavily relies on more than just well-structured processes. Although these are crucial for organization and efficiency, there are intangible aspects such as empathy and team engagement that are not automatically sustained by processes, no matter how well-designed they may be. Here are three reasons why processes alone are insufficient to generate empathy and effective team results: 1. **Lack of Direct Human Connection**: In a remote work environment, face-to-face interactions are limited or nonexistent. Processes might be perfectly designed for task distribution, deadline compliance, and progress monitoring, but they do not substitute the benefits of direct human connections. Non-verbal communication, such as facial expressions and body language, plays a crucial role in building trust and empathy among team members. Without it, leaders may find it challenging to capture the nuances of emotional well-being and engagement of their employees, which can lead to feelings of isolation and disconnection from the team. 2. **Impersonality of Processes**: Processes, especially in a remote work context, tend to be impersonal. They are designed for efficiency and might focus more on goals and outcomes than on people. This can result in a work culture where employees feel like just another cog in the machine rather than vital parts of a dynamic team. The lack of personalization and humanization in processes can make it difficult to create a welcoming and empathetic work environment, crucial for engagement and job satisfaction. 3. **Insufficient Communication and Feedback**: Even the most sophisticated processes can fail to facilitate effective communication and regular, constructive feedback. In remote work, where interactions are mediated by technology, communication can become even more challenging. Processes that do not include systematic methods for continuous feedback and open dialogue can lead to misunderstandings and a lack of clear direction. Without proper feedback, team members may feel disoriented and less motivated, directly impacting productivity and results. Effective leaders recognize that processes are only part of the management puzzle. To truly cultivate empathy and achieve remarkable team results, it is essential to integrate humanity and emotional understanding into leadership, adapting to the individual needs of team members and creating a work environment that promotes not only efficiency but also well-being and inclusion.

If you’re a remote manager, your blindspots are killing your ability to drive performance. I was coaching a new remote manager on this. Let’s call him Dave. Here’s what happened: Dave: “ugh, I’m not getting any upward feedback from my team. Every time I ask, they say everything’s fine.” Me: “okay, when do you typically ask for this feedback?” Dave: “In 1:1s, but they never share any.” Dave happened to be recording his 1:1s, but never had time to review them. He got his team’s consent to share them with us so we could see what was going on. As an unbiased third-party looking at the 1:1s, it was super obvious what was missing. In Dave's case–he was diving straight into metrics with no rapport-building. He talked 70% of the time in the meetings. He wasn’t asking enough questions. And he was often interrupting his direct reports when they responded. To be clear, Dave genuinely wanted to improve and get feedback from his team. He just didn’t know what he was doing wrong. He was never told that he was doing these things. It’s hard to notice them without help. The feedback we gave Dave was game-changing. “I wouldn’t have been able to get this feedback without y’all. Thank you so much.” Dave isn’t alone. We see this all the time at every level of management. And remote work makes this harder. If you have trusted colleagues who will give you honest feedback, cherish them. They are your best way to improve as a manager. And if you want to make the most of your 1:1s, consider signing up for Kona's 1:1 Accelerator.

Last month, many of us Doleader's were asked to write an article related to our work that we were passionate about. Many of my collogues picked topics such as AI, lead generation, and tips for organizing data. For me, the thing that really sets Dolead apart is our ability to make a intercontinental team feel as if we all work in the same office. Many of us have experienced remote work since the pandemic. Some experiences were good, some not so much. Below is a quick article I wrote about what I feel sets Dolead apart in it's remote work strategy. If you found it to be an interesting read, I would really appreciate if you liked and shared. 🚀

In 2020, much of the world wasn't thinking about remote work. But Sid Pandiya and the team at Kona, while still undergrads at UCLA, were tinkering with the idea that being a remote manager was really hard and these leaders were unsupported by traditional resources. Then, in March 2021, remote work became the reality for a majority of teams that only had ever collaborated in person before. Fast forward to today - Kona is an AI-powered leadership coach for remote managers. Kona understands your company, knows management best practices, connects to all your internal tools, knows your strengths and weaknesses, and creates a personalized approach to being a better manager. They're building a product that is using data to power remote managers with personalized resources to be effective. I got to catch up with Sid Pandiya about the Kona journey, being a technical founder, and validating your market. Check it out below - and be sure to follow Sid Pandiya and Yen Tan for incredible remote manager resources! https://lnkd.in/ez6kfD-T
