Realigning the Team

• The Four Pillars of Realignment

1. 1. Purpose – revisit your purpose. What is your purpose? Why are you in business? How does your purpose remain relevant to the current environment?
   2. Values – what are the things that you stand for as a team and as an organisation? How are you demonstrating your values? How do you ensure that your behaviours are aligned with your values?
   3. Operating Principles – how do you work as a team? How do you deal with the issues that come up? What is your strategy?
   4. Tools and Tips – how do you use the tools that you have? What are some of the best tools that you have that can help you deal with the current environment?

• Purpose is what pulls people to go to work. 
• Realigning is something that you can bring up in a team meeting, not just with the whole team, but individually. Check-in with your team not just about work but as well as personally.
• Apart from our physiological needs, there are three meta values that are important to people – community, pleasure, and meaning. 
• As a leader, you need to think about how do you create a sense of community with your team especially now that they are being isolated working from home. The second thing is to think about how you can create a level of fun to engage them. And finally, how do you create a sense of meaning for your team?
• Being agile, flexible, and having the ability to adapt to new challenges are key aspects of being a leader.
