<p>Courtesy: Carson Tate</p> <p>To make workplace an inspiring place, the leader is as much responsible as the team members.</p> <p>Proactive team members are called ‘Resourceful Influencers’.</p> <p>There are ways it can be done.</p> <p><strong>Emphasize inclusion.</strong></p> <p>People who are close by are visible, and hence approachable. Those who are remotely placed, are visible over zoom.</p> <p>Approachable too, provided you make an effort to reciprocate.</p> <p><strong>Support asynchronous work.</strong></p> <p>Record team meetings and share.</p> <p>But share bullet points along with that. So that even if somebody doesn’t have time to play the record, also knows the gist.</p> <p>This shows that you care, being the leader.</p> <p><strong>Encourage your team members to be their own internal PR agents.</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://neenjames.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Neen James</strong></a>, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;attention expert and keynote speaker, suggests that employees “be their &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;own internal publicist and send their manager on Friday a list of five &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;bullet points describing their achievements for the week.”</li> <li>At month &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;end, everybody can summarize in max 5 sentences.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Have 10 minutes Tea-kickstart-break</strong></p> <p>Talk to each other till the first tea lasts.</p> <p>You can extend for the second tea-cup as well. But not advisable, as this is expected to be brief and crisp.</p> <p><strong>Co-create work execution norms.</strong></p> <p>Gather everybody to decide the following:</p> <ul> <li>How to &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;communicate actively? With a note? With a call?</li> <li>What are &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;our team’s work hours?</li> <li>When to &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;schedule the meeting?</li> <li>When is &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the likely off for somebody?</li> <li>Can we &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;be accountable partners
