I’m often asked, what will help staff right now?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They are so worn out and fatigued by the pandemic and everything else going on.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To me, one of the answers is right in front of us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Us staying steady and doing the key tenets of our jobs as managers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On-going communication and clarity around what to expect and what is expected.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tools, training and support to meet what is expected.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Massive appreciation and accountability.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reprioritizing when needed and providing direction.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The main thing is not falling prey to taking on the day through a lens of crises and confusion. No heroics are needed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We just need to be the strength and structure that stands above it and helps those able to rise up and join together in the common cause of running our co-op.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We can so easily get mesmerized and paralyzed by the sheer number of moving parts in staff’s and society’s personal problems – thinking that we have a responsibility to solve them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Though we feel deeply, our responsibility is to lead in ways that stabilize and bring focus as the bedrock of our actions. This has always been, and still remains a positive and helpful way to support a team in navigating the toughest of challenges together.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Communication, expectations, appreciation, and accountability.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A lot can change in this world, yet in many ways being steady with the fundamentals is often one of the things that sees us through.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Steady as we go.<\/p>\n
