Engaged teams are productive, enthusiastic, and focused. But how can managers keep a pulse on their team when these are very subjective traits to measure?
Engaged teams and employees often:
- Confide in and show trust in their leadership team
- Identify problems and take on challenges proactively
- Work with a win-win mindset
- Provide better performance on day-to-day tasks
- Work with purpose and reevaluate priorities without instruction
- Challenge priorities and push back on assignments when they don’t see the value of them
- Collaborate with team members (and other departments) with a positive attitude
On the other side, disengaged teams and employees do the following:
- Shuffle responsibility from person to person
- Approach projects with a defeatist attitude
- Prioritize individual work over teamwork
- Fail to speak up or contribute during team meetings
- Come to one on ones without any agenda items
- Fail to follow through on commitments
These are the telltale signs that something has gone awry. Yet, managers may not have the visibility to identify these signs early when managing remote and distributed teams.
