Alvin,
00:00:04
an experienced manager,
00:00:06
faces a major challenge.
00:00:08
He leads a mixed team,
00:00:10
partly on site and partly remote.
00:00:12
However,
00:00:13
three major challenges make his daily
00:00:15
life complex communication and team cohesion,
00:00:19
performance and productivity management,
00:00:21
and support for employee well-being.
00:00:23
But the problem is that Alvin refuses all the solutions proposed to him
00:00:27
as if he wanted to prove that remote work was to be avoided.
00:00:31
Regarding challenge number one of communication and team cohesion,
00:00:35
Alvin rejects these fashionable silly tools,
00:00:38
his words,
00:00:39
such as icebreakers and other virtual coffee and rituals.
00:00:42
He deprecates what he calls gadgets of online collaboration
00:00:46
tools that some use in their virtual meetings whiteboards,
00:00:49
polls,
00:00:49
breakout rooms,
00:00:50
chat moderation.
00:00:52
Alvin says he doesn't believe in them and especially
00:00:55
that he doesn't have time for this nonsense.
00:00:58
Nothing beats face to face communication,
00:01:00
he keeps repeating
00:01:02
regarding challenge number 2 of performance
00:01:04
and productivity management of remote teams.
00:01:07
The same sabotage from Alvin
00:01:09
redefining objectives with smart criteria and monitoring KPIs seems to
00:01:14
Alvin like a way to spy on his team.
00:01:17
He believes his employees are competent and motivated enough to
00:01:20
complete their tasks without detailed objectives and deliverable tracking.
00:01:25
He firmly believes that if there were a problem,
00:01:27
his employees would come directly to talk to him.
00:01:30
I regularly tour the offices,
00:01:32
and my door is always open,
00:01:34
he proclaims.
00:01:35
The issue of remote employee well-being is also not his priority.
00:01:40
Alvin is not really in favor of remote work.
00:01:43
He only takes one day of telework per week.
00:01:45
Therefore,
00:01:46
he believes that those who choose telework for their benefit
00:01:49
do not need to be coddled on top of that.
00:01:52
The challenges of working from home are their problem.
00:01:55
He reserves all his support and attention for the well-being of
00:01:58
those who come to the office more often because they show,
00:02:01
in his opinion,
00:02:02
a stronger commitment.
00:02:04
Alvin is convinced that the solution would line everyone returning to the office.
00:02:09
He sees telework as an obstacle to communication and performance.
00:02:13
Despite the advice and tools offered
00:02:15
to facilitate his effective remote management,
00:02:18
he rejects them,
00:02:19
certain he is right.
00:02:21
Of course,
00:02:21
his attitude contributes to weakening the communication
00:02:24
and performance of his hybrid team.
00:02:26
He is so convinced and worried
00:02:29
that his team ends up doubting the possible success of telework.
00:02:32
Will he manage to convince the big boss to
00:02:35
review the telework charter that was signed in 2021?
