Companies still discuss the effectiveness and efficiency of home office or any kind of remote and mobile working.

I do really wonder why? It is a proven concept!

There are only three major prerequistes that need to be fulfilled:

(1) Deliver your dedicated tasks in quality and in time,
(2) therefor, delegate the tasks as precise as necessary with a due date,
(3) and be availabe for any kind of calls and (digital meetings)!

The base of it is built in mutual trust & the organization of some frame requirements.

If there is a possibility, meet in person (from time to time) to maintain the social relationship!

Read that in my next blog about the ‘wherever office’

My definition of management`s responsibility:

• set (ambitious & clearly defined) objectives
• identify strengths and potentials
• delegate tasks to adquate competencies
• balance capacities
• follow up results & define specific regular meetings for that
• ensure quality
• enable qualification and training
• support your team to get better
• trust and delegate responsibilities, allow competence bearers to take those responsibilities (try not to micromanagement)
• communicate, communicate, communicate
• allow the workflow to be agile – responding to change:
