Around the end of the year we typically adjust our products to our transforming customer needs. We restructure and refocus. This has an impact on the words I am writing here since this will be our last newsletter article for some time.

In 2020-2022 Covid and its consequences for remote leadership were one of the biggest challenges for teams out there. Since 2023 the teams gradually changed to hybrid setups (what can mean many things…) These new challenges demand new solutions.

We are going to refocus our resources - away from online marketing and blogging more towards speaker activities at exhibitions (check out L&D pro online conference on March 19th). In 2025 we will head out from our beloved home market Europe and especially Germany and direct our attention a bit more towards the US.

We will combine our AI Chatbot, Knowledgebase, Leadership Framework, Workshop Series online Whiteboards and Membership into one concept that companies can buy all at once.

The New Narrative has put it in a nutshell: written communication is an important part of our modern hybrid working world. We from Digital Leader Program are convinced that non-verbal communication plays an at least as important role in a remote context.

Did you know that:

•  55% of communication is based on body language?
•  38 % is based on tone of voice?
•  Only 7% is conveyed through the spoken word?

We can also harness the power of non-verbal communication in a remote context:

➡️ Do you leave on the video in video calls? Is your remote setup consciously set up in terms of lighting, alignment and background?

➡️Do you listen attentively to your counterpart in meetings? Or do you complete tasks in the meantime?

➡️In which way do you experience interruptions from letter carriers and co?

All these examples have an impact on our non-verbal communication.

What do you think? In which way do you take non-verbal aspects into account in your daily (remote) communication?

How much ad hoc feedback do you give in your remote working team? 

In many teams that work remotely, interim feedback is forgotten or has never really been practiced. Organizations often assume that quarterly or annual feedback are sufficient for developing a team culture. 

But that's not quite the case ... 

Regular feedback shows that you as a leader are aware of and value the work of your team. 

What other benefits does regular feedback have for you as a leader? 

1. Motivation and commitment: By regularly recognizing successes and identifying areas for development, team members can stay motivated and strengthen their commitment to their role.
2. Quick problem solving: Daily feedback allows problems to be identified early and resolved quickly before they escalate into bigger issues. You save time in the long run!
3. Building trust and relationships: Regular interaction and sharing of feedback helps build trust between you and your team members and strengthen relationships.
