My company recently added the ability to problem solve as an expectation of each position. Although different positions have varying problem solving expectations, we discussed how to teach the skill of solving problems and whether it's enough to rely on manager coaching.

@btrauernichtuno Managers are consistently challenged with introducing change to their teams and many times this involves showing support of the change and leading others to accept the change. It's important the team still feel valued or needed even when work is enhanced with technology.

This study found productivity and creativity are directly impacted by workload. Workers do not realize their innovative potential if they have too little or too much work.

@JaredMag_UNO In the past, my company also did surveys with overall results reported back to senior management. Specific improvement goals were then assigned to the department managers, but many initially found it difficult to improve until HR provided ideas on how to improve ratings.

My division is beginning a culture shift expecting all team members to actively challenge processes and introduce creative ideas. While retaining the company's focus on improving customer and employee experience, "culture champions" are socializing this new subculture.

Fostering company culture with remote employees can be challenging, but it can succeed by consistently including them in individual and group communications.

In the past, new team members used the manager to help resolve conflicts on the team. Instead of becoming a third-party negotiator, I use these situations to develop employees by recommending ways to resolve the conflict on their own and foster a positive relationship.

@ELink_UNO In operational teams, many leaders see the most productive employees as leaders since they typically evolve to trainers and role models. However, a manager role requires much more and many times these individuals miss "doing the work" when they move to leading the team.

Negotiation is an art and requires a level playing field.
Building a good reputation and relationships based on trust will lay the groundwork for successful negotiations.

@Megan_UNO IM is just another avenue of communication needing monitored. When first introduced at work, most expected immediate responses if someone showed available. Since I am frequently in meetings, I worked with my team to expect response times similar to e-mail or voicemail.

In the past couple years, my organization has focused on training managers to build relationships centered on trust. By building trust with employees on our teams, lateral managers, and customers, we are better able to succeed in leading our teams.

Persuasive communication like a sales presentation requires preparation. Carefully considering the methods of communication and adapting to the customer will increase success.

The impact of cohesiveness is noticeable at my organization. Team members frequently talk on a personal level and work together effectively toward a common goal. Once new people spend more time on the team, they are more comfortable to offer input to solve problems.

@uno_schmidt As my company merged several midwest divisions, we turned to teleconference meetings to continue functioning across all markets. Although this makes it possible for teams to meet, I believe video conferencing may be more beneficial to mimic the face-to-face interaction.

Focusing on an inclusive culture instead of diversity can be more beneficial. Attempting to hire individuals extremely diverse from others may cause negative experiences for the entire team.

My employer recently implemented a policy to support corporate social responsibility. They offer each employee 8 hours paid time annually to volunteer at any organization. While not required, this allows employees to volunteer without the stress of using vacation time.

@btrauernichtuno Improving employee experience (EX) has been a goal at my employer for many years. Interesting to consider smaller businesses must now compete with EX efforts to attract/retain talent and motivate teams. Generational differences definitely create challenges for managers.

@ccwinche Important concept for companies as hours have extended in many service industries and technical projects use talent overseas. Many managers are expected to frequently fluctuate hours and participate in meetings during abnormal hours, which interrupt their normal sleep.

Unexpected rewards motivate, but tournament incentives seem risky if low performers are punished. A competitive environment encouraging unethical choices could result.

@Megan_UNO As a manager, I always focus on smiling and greeting employees on my team and other teams throughout the day. I frequently hear managers mention employees perceived as more friendly when looking for candidates to fill future opportunities on their teams.
