The global pandemic has pushed the world to work remotely regardless of the industry type. Even though remote work existed long before the outbreak occurred, it became the new norm or the way of life only after the mandated lockdown. There are umpteen benefits that remote work offers, starting from a better work-life balance to increased levels of productivity.
However, it’s not all rosy. Leaders have and are facing several challenges while leading a distributed team. Communication, the essence of remote work and agility, is one of the major ones. Agility is all about being resilient, adaptive to change and encouraging innovations to boost team efficiency. Fostering an agile environment is difficult in a virtual work set-up, unlike in co-located spaces.
