Engaging Leaders is the leading Culture Transformation Consultancy, and through Culture Matters, we go about exploring human stories for creating a better future of work. 

There are inherent challenges for teams and leaders in remote work. We explore with Sharon Lim and Nim Sivakumaran on how leaders need to understand factors that can make remote work especially demanding. Otherwise high-performing employees may experience declines in job performance and engagement when they begin working remotely, especially in the absence of trust and effective communication. ​ Sharon explains how as leaders, we need to amp up our self awareness and the sense of empathetic curiosity.  ​ "The leader sets the tone for the workplace. Like it or not, his or her energy will affect the team. The leader therefore needs to get his or her energy right. Self Awareness is key. No one is perfect but to be aware of how your actions and words can affect those who work with you is key to ensuring that the tone you set is one that is conducive for a productive and positive work environment."

If your employees are able to feel safe, they will be more open to sharing ideas and being creative. It will be less of a focus on the individual but a greater emphasis on the collective. "The genuine interest in their co-workers must also be consistent. An important aspect of consistency is self awareness as to how you are coming across."

Driving Diversity and Inclusion: Li Wei uses the example of rowing a boat. "You cannot have diversity without inclusion. You need to row with both oars or you will end up going in circles." Diversity and inclusion must go hand in hand. You cannot have one without the other. Culture of Diversity & Inclusion requires the buy in of business leaders to succeed. It cannot be the work of one person. There may be one person that comes up with the idea but for culture to take root, a group of like minded leaders in different sectors must be engaged and remain accountable. Various leaders across the business must retain ownership and commitment to keep it going. This a 2-part episode. Do check out the 2nd Part as well.
