Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, Otto Beisheim School of Management Vallendar, language: English, abstract: This thesis provides some best practices and other principles to help overcome the challenges and disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic. This thesis discusses these eleven best practices and other principles in the later chapters, and will help leaders realize possible challenges and how to overcome them. If teams fail to overcome them and adjust to the virtual environment, they will not be able to work effectively any more and could cause potential damage and losses to the organization by not completing their tasks and goals. These practical implications can help leaders and remote teams adjust to a virtual environment and are why this thesis is very relevant during the Covid-19 pandemic and also post-pandemic, as these are helpful guidelines for remote leaders. Essential principles for remote leadership are the following in no particular order: • Provision of technology • Frequent and well communication • Sequencing of tasks • Provision of emotional and social support. • Maintenance of productivity and engagement • Promotion of a work-life balance • Acquisition of mentoring quality • Reinforcement of trustworthiness • Encouragement of shared leadership • Establishment of norms • Digital leadership Covid-19 has disrupted many workplaces, changed the working environment, and shifted most workplaces to a remote work setting, meaning most people had to start working from home. As the Covid-19 pandemic was rapidly advancing, working from the office was no longer possible in most workplaces. Many companies implemented a 'new normal' in the form of virtual teams and remote work. With this disruption and change, many difficulties and issues arose. Virtual teams and, therefore, also remote leadership face different challenges than face-to-face leadership and teams do. These new challenges came quickly and somewhat unexpectedly, and now leaders and organizations have to face them. Coping with these challenges is crucial for the Covid-19 era and post-pandemic age, when workspaces will most likely stay remote to some extent. Therefore, this topic is significant in the present and will also remain important for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some ideas and concepts for our forward-thinking approach to the Post-Covid-19 world are not decades old, they are centuries old. Time tested and proven methodologies are effective when repurposed, up-cycled, rethought to apply to problems that did not exist when they were created. An equation required to project the precise area the first Mercury capsule would land was a centuries-old formula developed by Leonhard Euler known as Euler's Method. Leonhard Euler was a prolific Swiss mathematician who lived 1707-1783. Katherine G. Johnson rethought Euler's formula and applied it to a problem that did not exist when it was created to create a cutting-edge solution for Astronaut John Glenn and N.A.S.A. As Kathrine worked toward her solution, she was focused on creative problem-solving. Kathrine proved new thinking and old methods can create more than new solutions. John Glenn orbited the Earth on February 20, 1962, 179 years after Euler's death. Her new thinking and old methods wrote history.

This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the introduction of policies to combat COVID-19, far greater numbers of employees across the globe—including those with limited job autonomy—have moved to undertake their entire job at home. Although challenging in the current climate, embracing these flexible modes of work such as working at home, including relevant investment in technology to enable this, will not only deliver potential organizational benefits but also increase the adaptability of the labor market in the short and longer terms. Although perhaps not the central concern of many in the current climate, “good” home-based work is achievable and perhaps even a solution to the current work-based dilemma created by COVID-19 and should be a common goal for individuals, organizations, and society. Research also has shifted to focus on the routines of workers, organizational performance, and well-being of companies and their employees along with reflections on the ways in which these developments may influence and alter the nature of paid work into the post-COVID-19 era. The Handbook of Research on Remote Work and Worker Well-Being in the Post-COVID-19 Era focuses on the rapid expansion of remote working in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts it has had on both employees and businesses. The content of the book progresses understanding and raises awareness of the benefits and challenges faced by large-scale movements to remote working, considering the wide array of different ways in which the large-scale movement to remote working is impacting working lives and the economy. This book covers how different fields of work are responding and implementing remote work along with providing a presentation of how work occurs in digital spaces and the impacts on different topics such as gender dynamics and virtual togetherness. It is an ideal reference book for HR professionals, business managers, executives, entrepreneurs, policymakers, researchers, students, practitioners, academicians, and business professionals interested in the latest research on remote working and its impacts.

Download or read book Remote Work Revolution written by Tsedal Neeley and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LONGLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES & MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR “I often talk about the importance of trust when it comes to work: the trust of your employees and building trust with your customers. This book provides a blueprint for how to build and maintain that trust and connection in a digital environment.” —Eric S. Yuan, founder and CEO of Zoom A Harvard Business School professor and leading expert in virtual and global work provides remote workers and leaders with the best practices necessary to perform at the highest levels in their organizations. The rapid and unprecedented changes brought on by Covid-19 have accelerated the transition to remote working, requiring the wholesale migration of nearly entire companies to virtual work in just weeks, leaving managers and employees scrambling to adjust. This massive transition has forced companies to rapidly advance their digital footprint, using cloud, storage, cybersecurity, and device tools to accommodate their new remote workforce. Experiencing the benefits of remote working—including nonexistent commute times, lower operational costs, and a larger pool of global job applicants—many companies, including Twitter and Google, plan to permanently incorporate remote days or give employees the option to work from home full-time. But virtual work has it challenges. Employees feel lost, isolated, out of sync, and out of sight. They want to know how to build trust, maintain connections without in-person interactions, and a proper work/life balance. Managers want to know how to lead virtually, how to keep their teams motivated, what digital tools they’ll need, and how to keep employees productive. Providing compelling, evidence-based answers to these and other pressing issues, Remote Work Revolution is essential for navigating the enduring challenges teams and managers face. Filled with specific actionable steps and interactive tools, this timely book will help team members deliver results previously out of reach. Following Neeley’s advice, employees will be able to break through routine norms to successfully use remote work to benefit themselves, their groups, and ultimately their organizations.

Download or read book Leadership and Organisational Effectiveness Post COVID 19 written by Okechukwu E. Amah and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-10 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the idea that existing leadership theories have arisen as a result of significant disruption in work structure. The authors argue that the Covid-19 pandemic provided such a disruption and an opportunity to reconceptualise leadership. In order to capture this opportunity and conceptualise new leadership theories, it is first necessary to understand what happened in the past, during the pandemic, and examine the future of work. Addressing three critical issues in leadership, the authors firstly present a framework that helps us understand and enact leadership in the ‘new normal.’ Parts 1 and 2 of the book address the past and current forms of leadership in the context of COVID-19. The book goes on to consider the lessons learned from COVID-19 in the context of the U.N Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs). The targets of SDGs 7 - 17 refer to the need for organisations to operate responsibly; they call for organisations to review their operations processes and to define effective performance using triple-bottom-line measures comprising economic, social and environmental measures. Since leadership plays a significant role in achieving these goals, the book includes chapters on efficiency in process design and operation, definition and implementation of the triple-bottom-line measures and ethical behaviours. Finally, the book explores how the current process of leadership development falls short in today’s context and calls for the need to develop effective leadership mindsets

Download or read book Back to Human written by Dan Schawbel and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER A Financial Times Book of the Month Back to Human explains how a more socially connected workforce creates greater fulfillment, productivity, and engagement while preventing burnout and turnover. The next generation of leaders must create a workplace where teammates feel genuinely connected, engaged, and empowered -- without relying on technology. Based on Dan Schawbel's exclusive research studies -- featuring the perspectives of over 2,000 managers and employees across different age groups -- Back to Human reveals why virtual communication, though vital and useful, actually contributes to a stronger sense of isolation at work than ever before. How can we change this culture? Schawbel offers a self-assessment called the "Work Connectivity Index" that measures the strength of team relationships. He also shares exercises, examples, and activities that readers can work on individually or as a team, which will help them increase personal productivity, be more collaborative, and become more fulfilled at work. Back to Human ultimately helps you decide when and how to use technology to build better connections in your work life. It is a call to action to leaders across the world to make the workplace a better experience for all of us.
