Corona Virus: Holding the Team Together
While the number of people who work remotely (usually from home) has been growing significantly for a number of years, it is still far away from mainstream. So when people are now forced to work from home entirely due to the Corona virus, it is a new experience for many. Do not underestimate the difference between doing this two days a week vs. full-blown.
Apart from individual challenges, this also means a big change for the team, we are usually a part of. People have shown quite some creativity to overcome this situation and find ways to keep bonds strong. Some folks I know have introduced a virtual morning coffee round. Others started to use video for their conference calls for the first time, although they had so far rejected it.
Below you will find a video from the team of Simon Sinek. These people have been working remotely for years and share their approach to be a team, even if they almost never meet in reality. I can truly recommend watching this video.

(The recording is not too good unfortunately: blurred picture pretty much at the beginning for a while and only left audio for the entire video – try to ignore.)

I had not planned it, but this is a nice follow-up to my previous post about conventional wisdom.
