In response to the uncertainties presented by COVID-19, many companies and universities have asked their employees to work remotely. While close to a quarter of the U.S. workforce already works from home at least part of the time, the new policies leave many employees — and their managers — working out of the office and separated from each other for the first time.

As leaders, we have to lead first by vision. If we can't create a compelling picture of the future, something that's really desirable, it will be very hard to motivate our team to change or to take on big tasks to fulfill our purpose.

Over the past decade, we have mentored hundreds of doctors in training and learned lessons that apply to many settings. Key among these is that the traditional mentor/mentee model needs an update. While one-on-one mentoring remains critical, mentees also need mentoring teams that evolve over time. These types of teams were important in our own career journeys, and we've reworked the mentoring programs at our own institution to leverage them.
