5 tips for Leading Teams from Home During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Employees working from home face an uncertain future where leadership is more important than ever. Donatella De Paoli, Associate Professor from the Department of Leadership and Organisational Behaviour at BI Norwegian Business School, considers the current changing work environment a social experiment we can all learn from.

We are all increasingly working from home, and adapting our working habits and businesses with screens means they have become a necessary part of communication and connection.

Professor De Paoli has outlined five tips for how leaders can effectively lead their teams when working remotely during this global pandemic:

  1. Focus on Relationships – The current situation requires leadership which places importance on good relationships and is based on trust. The focus should be on how the team can get along: good dialogue is vital as well as understanding how people are coping mentally.

  5. Co-create Leadership – De Paoli states leadership is co-created: effective leadership includes making it clear that every person is responsible for ensuring tasks are completed. When we are physically isolated from each other, team member must engage in greater self-management.

If companies are to succeed during and after the pandemic, traditional and centralised views of leadership must be replaced. The coronavirus pandemic will affect how leadership is understood and practised, now and in the future. This advice will help leaders coordinate effective teams while working from home and ma
