As you begin to redesign your organization for a post-pandemic world, keep in mind the impact your choices will have on organizational norms and culture. Focus on the ties that bind your people together. Pay attention to core aspects of your own leadership and that of your broader group of leaders and managers. Your opportunity is to fashion a hybrid virtual model that best fits your company, and let it give birth to a new shared culture for all your employees.

To avoid the pitfalls of remote work, it's important to consider how leadership and management can be adapted to suit virtual teams. Leaders are key to creating a unified culture in a hybrid virtual environment.

Failing to anticipate the pitfalls of this new arrangement requires careful consideration of how leadership and management work in a hybrid virtual world, as well as how smaller teams respond to new arrangements for work. Interactions between leaders and teams provide an essential locus for creating the social cohesion and the unified hybrid virtual culture that organizations need in the next normal.
