How to salvage the client relationship

Firing A Nightmare Client & Losing $5K Was the Best Decision I Ever Made

A lack of clarity can lead to issues in hybrid teams; if employees don’t know who is responsible for what or what’s expected of them, both individually and as a team, it can cause conflict.So, if you want to better manage conflict on your team, make sure you’re setting crystal clear expectations from the get-go—particularly if your team is still adjusting to working in a hybrid environment.

Set Clear Expectations

Oten, remote employees feel like they’re not getting an equal experience to employees that work in the office.<ul><li>Take meetings, for example. Face-to-face communication is typically easier and more seamless than virtual conversations. So, when you have employees attending a meeting both in person and remotely, it can be easy for in-person employees to dominate the conversation.&nbsp;</li><li>So, for the meeting example, you might have “employees in the office also call into the meeting remotely to equalize the experience,” says Keswin.</li></ul>

Create An Equal Playing Field For In-Person and Remote Employees

It’s easy to give recognition to employees that share your office space via a “great job on that project!” as you walk by their desk. But those spontaneous opportunities for recognition and acknowledgement don’t exist for remote employees.&nbsp;There’s a risk of remote employees being ‘out of sight, out of mind’. This can make remote workers feel undervalued or like they’re not getting the same recognition as in-person employees—which can lead to conflict on the team.&nbsp;

Recognize All Employees’ Contributions

If there’s no trust within your hybrid team—both in leadership and in fellow team members—you can pretty much guarantee there’s going to be conflict.&nbsp;If you want to effectively manage conflict with your team, building trust is a must—and that means investing time in getting to know your team.When you understand your team members and how they function, you can foster better interactions, both with leadership and other team members—which can lead to a higher level of trust within your hybrid team.

Spend Time Building Trust

When you have team members working in different locations, communication can be a challenge. In-person employees might spend the bulk of their day talking to their co-worker in the next cubicle over—while remote workers struggle to form a real connection with their team members.That’s why, if you want your hybrid team to function harmoniously, you need to create opportunities for frequent communication.

Foster Communication 

If you want your team to thrive, it’s important to understand how to effectively manage conflict as a leader, help your team work through challenges, and empower your employees to do their best work. 

Conflict Management Strategies For Hybrid Teams

For leaders at any level, the single best way to grow is to lead and then get feedback. It is to act and interact with your team and learn what can be improved upon through feedback.&nbsp;But there’s a problem with receiving feedback once you reach a more senior role. The nature of feedback changes — people tend to minimize any unpleasant or less-than-positive feedback or don’t want to offer you any constructive criticism at all.

The single best way to grow 

<ul><li>The very first response to give when someone gives you feedback should be a response of gratitude. Don’t get defensive.&nbsp;</li><li>Whether it’s praise, criticism or some other type of feedback, take the time to restate to the person giving it what you heard them say. Just a quick “What I hear you saying is _____” can have a powerful effect on your conversation.</li><li>Listening to feedback alone doesn’t bring about growth; it’s only when feedback is used to figure how to act differently (or start or stop acting) that growth actually happens.&nbsp;</li><li>Feedback isn’t a one-and-done intervention; it’s a process. You’re growing, changing and improving all the time — and to do that you’ll need more feedback.</li></ul>

How to get better at receiving feedback 

For leaders at any level, the single best way to grow is to lead and then get feedback. But you also need to respond wisely, and organizational psychologist David Burkus PhD explains how.

How to get better at receiving feedback 

<ul><li>What do you say after you pick up the phone? Most people say "hello," and there's a reason for that: phone companies taught people to say it in the 1800s.&nbsp;</li><li>The word caught on, in part, because phone books instructed people to begin conversations by saying "hello" as a way to confirm both people were on the line. This habit, and the word, stuck. The medium created a new kind of etiquette.</li><li>But team chat tools are a different medium than the telephone and require a different kind of etiquette.</li></ul>

The history of hello

Because text-based messages are different from a phone call, saying "hello" before getting to the point actually makes communication take longer.This is less efficient than the alternative:<ul><li>You say hello and ask your question.</li><li>Eventually, the other person answers the question.</li></ul>

Get to the point

If a manager ever texts "hi," "hello," or "hey," without any further context, most people will assume that they're fired. The same goes for "are you around?", "let me know when you get in," and "can we talk?"If you're a manager, don't text your report "hey" and then wait for them to respond. Get to the point, or we're going to assume the point is very very bad.

When managers text "hi"

If you actually do need to have a serious (and potentially career-affecting) conversation with someone in a remote context, consider doing it during a regularly scheduled one-on-one session, so there's no pre-conversation anxiety.
