Six Mindsets To Help Your Team And Company ‘Reboot’ BY JASON V. BARGER
Did you know that 7.6 million people quit their jobs in the months of April and May of 2021? Reports of loneliness at work are as high as ever. Di-
vorce rates are up 34 percent from last year. To say people have been a little stressed would be an understatement. Let’s dig a little deeper into what the research is also telling us. nine out of every 10 employees say they want to work for a more meaningful culture. People want to feel like they are a part of something bigger than themselves, they want to feel appreciated, valued and cared for. In the midst of so much angst, division and uncertainty in the world that seems out of our control,

people need to be reminded about what is within our control Teams and companies need a reboot. Most teams and companies are still figuring out how to help support their people and engage with them remotely, in hybrid settings, and in-person gatherings. With all that people have been navi-gating, differ- ing modes of communication, the expansion of remote workers, global health, issues of racism, social injustice and equity, political and eco- nomic uncertainty, they are also expected to maximize the experience, product or service that you are delivering to the marketplace. Here are six mindsets to reboot your team: 1. Clarity —Is your Mission clear? Is your Vision clear? Are your Values for how your team is com-mitted to travel clear? Is your Strategy for the next priorities clear? Take this time as an opportunity to reboot and make sure all are aligned with clarity. The outcome is that everything on the path forward becomes clearer. Your team may not have all the answers, but they’ll have energy and clear direction on how to take the next step. 2. Inclusivity — Leaders in the world play an enormous role in widening the circle so that more diverse backgrounds, ideas, perspectives, and experiences have a seat at the table. Teams and organizations will lead the way forward in society by modeling how to have civil, respectful dia- logue and educate people on the strengths of diversity, equity and inclu- sion. When our teams are welcoming, it breathes life and energy into all. . 3. Agility — Possibility + Adaptability is the name of the game in a chang- ing world. Leaders have to practice an occasional reboot that allows their mind to find new ways of doing things and the courage to adapt to opportunities that emerge. If leaders return to the “this is the way we’ve always done it” mindset then they will sit back and watch their people leave the room. 4. Grit — Resolve + Toughness is critical to help people navigate their way through obstacles, challenges, negativity, finger pointing, and divi- sion. Leaders help their people reboot to stay focused on the present moment and the actions that are needed in order to take the next step. Toughness isn’t about being physically stronger than others, it is about being able to be vulnerable with your people and still have the resolve to find solutions, together.
