Succeeding with Your Post-COVID Re-entry Plan

“People are returning to a different place—or are in a different place, post COVID,” says Scott Blanchard, president of The Ken Blanchard Companies.

“This isn’t about a return to work. It is about the return to performance,” says Stan Slap, New York Times bestselling author and CEO of the global culture consulting company SLAP. “Do it right and this transformation can serve you and soar your business. Do it wrong and it will stall you and stay with you.”

As leaders put the finishing touches on strategies for bringing back their workforce, whether in full or in some new form, Blanchard and Slap recommend examining and reigniting the relationship with your employee and manager cultures.

Are You a Directive or Supportive Leader?

Forty years of Blanchard research has proven that the best leadership style is the one that matches the developmental needs of the person you’re working with. Is the direct report new and inexperienced about the task at hand? If so, more guidance and direction are called for. Are they experienced and skilled? In that case, they require less hands-on supervision and a more supportive style. To bring out the best in others, leadership must be tailored to both the individual and the situation.
