With entire families continuing to work within the confines of their homes, we’ve seen countless examples of business leaders and customers showing grace as dogs bark and kids run through the background. Setting Expectations, Commanding Presence and Leadership Accountability However, now that we have all accepted virtual meetings as part of our routine, it is incumbent upon all of us to be the most effective form of our business-selves within these parameters. Obviously, television personalities get paid so much partially because of this innate ability to engage. If that scenario sounds familiar, it is because it is effectively the same thing we are now asked to do several times a day. In most cases, news anchors are sitting alone in front of a camera and speaking to a large group of people.

That is simply not true, but there is good news: resetting the course for success starts with internalizing and addressing the aspects of communication that will generate great results.
DRIVE FOR RESULTS HOW TO
We’ve convinced ourselves and our teams that just because the technology we use links us together both visually and audibly, we know how to conduct business effectively in a virtual environment. it is about recognizing our shortfalls within the world of virtual communication, both personally and with technology, and addressing them to drive real results.

The obvious reality is everyone has to figure out how to make the technology work. Perhaps the most visible change is that meetings – including the high-stakes ones where multi-year deals are closed and future corporate directions are hammered out – are happening through computer screens. It is time to take into account what has changed about business and carve a successful path rooted in today’s realities. A year after the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains uncertainty about how to move business forward with a clear and vivid path.
