The Future of Work Turns the Chief People Officer into a Chief Product Officer

Here's how you can maximize career growth through temporary and contract work.
Over the years you accumulate work sample: templates, slide decks etc. make sure whatever contracts you’re doing have what I’ll call ‘2 for 1’ value. Put this type of work on your digital shelf so that you can pull it down in the future to semi customize to a new context. If you’re doing a piece of project work, take the extra time to build it in a way that is semi customizable for future use vs pure custom for one buyer. The main point? Make your future self thank you for investing a bit more time being selective in what you do and how you do it.

What do you do if your virtual team lacks a strong culture that promotes high performance?
Unfortunately. I think that culture and high performance starts with the corner office - in this case, yours. Know yourself is the cornerstone of effective leadership. Commit to doing some deep introspective work to look at your own strengths and habits. Who you recruit. How you lead/manage. How you set up feedback mechanisms. How you connect 1:1. And how you help your own team achieve their career goals.

How can you give feedback that is relevant to your coachee's team dynamics?
I think it’s always best to stay hard on the problem, not the person. From there it’s a 2x2 forward looking coaching framework. Along one axis: what your coachee does and how they do it. And along the other axis: is heart (emotional) and head (logical). Most people looking to round out and optimize their performance tend to over or under index in one or more of the 2x2 quadrants. We all know someone who had great what (plans) but terrible how (no communication for any to follow). Or another person who had a perfect 2 yr roadmap with clear okr’s and RACI (high head/logical) but never celebrated a milestone achievement or said thanks (low emotional).

What do you do if you're struggling with remote work and virtual collaboration?
I’d also suggest identifying a few people in your organization who seem to be successfully thriving. Some of the generic tips are helpful, but miss the organizational context. I suspect that a few informational virtual coffee talks will reveal a lot of unique tacit knowledge. And I also suspect that one will feel less like they are failing when one hears about how others are struggling as well. This kind of mental reset / support is invaluable.
