Monday Morning Minute Episode #002 – Remote Team Managers – What’s Your Team’s Main Thing?

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Monday Morning Minute

In a previous episode I asked you to reflect on how clear you are on what your personal main thing is.

As a manager of a remote team, you’ll also have a team main thing.

Now a productive team is going to be very clear on what the team main thing is.

It can be outcome focused, it can be process focused or it can even be value focused.

It doesn’t matter as long as the team rallies round that main thing and focus their efforts on it.

Ideally each member of your team will know and understand what the main thing is for your team and how their efforts contribute to it… ideally anyway.

Perhaps try this during the coming week.

1. Make sure you're clear on what the team main thing is
2. Monitor your team this week and see how focused their activities are on the team main thing.
3. At the end of the week ask each of your team members what they think the main thing is.
4. How aligned do you think those answers will be?

I’d be interested to know what you discover.

Until next week...
