Some big problems have delightfully simple solutions. They may not be the magic fix you need, but they can help you get a wee bit forward. If your team environment is feeling a bit “meh”, then consider these tiny bits of advice that Amy Luckey has for you. They’ll help you build connection, one step at a time.

Feedback is a gift which some of us are very generous with. Naji recently wrote an article about giving feedback asynchronously. But it’s equally important for us to ask for, receive and process async feedback in the right way. The lack of facial and audio cues that we use in face-to-face and Zoom meetings can make this challenging. This post will help you learn how to receive feedback asynchronously.

Remote leadership is all about intention and attention. Amy and I have been discussing this idea at length when we chat. You can’t leave things on auto-pilot anymore as you did when you were in the office. And that’s a good thing. In this post, Amy draws our attention to three sets of micro-moves that can make teams effective. All you need to bring to the table is intention and attention.

The world of work is seeking answers for what a post-pandemic operating model will look like. Amy Luckey believes that the answers will come from an agile mindset. In this post, she describes how two common practices from agile teams can also help organisations and teams across industry discover what'll work for them and what may not. When you use these practices in tandem, you'll build a self-healing mechanism so your teams can course correct when they have to.
