DAILY "STAND UP" MEETINGS

This quick morning check-in with your team is key to setting them up for success.

It should be 15 minutes tops, before 10 AM.

This is a focused call where everyone talks about

four things only:

What they worked on yesterday?

What they are working on today?

What they are working on tomorrow?

Any roadblocks to getting their work done?

DON'T MICRO MANAGE

Be consistent in your managerial style.

Instead of micro-managing, trust your team,

and verify their productivity.

Your daily "stand up" meetings and any deliverables they have are your verification.

Let your team the space to do their work.

BLOCK OUT OFFICE HOURS

Your team needs to continue to feel connected to you and that they can still come to you and vice versa.

No matter how busy you are,

carve out about 2 hours a day

(everyday or a few days per week)

that your digital door is open for office hours.

Set the expectation for your time while giving your team regular access to your for any help they may need.

CASUAL FRIDAY READY

Let's say the VP calls for a quick team call, you and your whole team should be dressed for Zoom.

Stay ready, and you don't have to get ready.

This doesn't mean sitting around at home in your

business-best, but a simple top, one you would wear

on a casual Friday is perfect.

And please make sure you're in shorts or pants! If you have to stand up or move on your call, you don't want to give any one a show!

RESPECT BUSINESS HOURS

Just because your team is at home does not mean that you can schedule work or meeting

at all hours, early or late.

Stick to your your usual schedule.

Be mindful that your team may be dealing with children at home and other non-work responsibilities and may not be available for meeting outside of normal working hours.
