Remote work has become essential for many organizations. However, it appears that some employees and managers are ill-equipped for this type of work arrangement. According to a new survey by leadership training company VitalSmarts: 21% of employees don't feel their team members have good enough collaboration habits to work effectively from home; and 20% of leaders are either unprepared or very unprepared to manage remote teams. A VitalSmarts survey conducted before COVID-19 found that remote workers were already experiencing challenges when issues arise: 84% of remote employees said their concerns dragged on for a few days or more; and 47% admitted to letting concerns drag on for a few weeks or more.

Most leaders think of their job as that of leading. They have a responsibility for helping that team reach their goals. They have expectations placed on them by the organization to manage and lead — but leaders are teammates, too. They are likely on at least two teams — the team of their peers and the team they lead.

Everyone makes mistakes. As long as humans are involved, mistakes are a part of life. Yes, we should try to minimize them, but the fact remains that someday, someone, will make a mistake.
You have a super employee, conscientious, reliable, terrific on customer service. One day, though, he makes a costly mistake. A big mistake. A mistake that makes a dent in your operations.
