Finding the right working model, along with the codes of conduct, protocols, guidance, and supporting tools will not happen overnight. It is a journey of experimentation, trial and error, shared experiences, and lessons learned.
When things do not go as planned, they should not be framed as failures but as setbacks and learning opportunities. Leaders must be prepared to share lessons learned even if that means admitting that they got it wrong.
No working model is static. External and internal organisational factors and influences will result in changes to the model. It must be subject to continual improvement.
Summary
Leaders must learn to measure performance on outcomes and value delivered – not hours at a desk. A single source of truth for everyone in the organisation is imperative. Where people work must have a purpose and the protocols around communication and channels must be clear and consistent.
Finally, this is a journey without a final destination as the end result will continue to evolve to adapt to an ever-changing environment.
