1) maintaining a positive team climate

based in this article and For the fourth section, comment on how Managerial Incompetence, Managerial Derailment and Destructive Leadership can negatively impact remote teams.

One of the toughest challenges for remote leaders is maintaining a positive team climate. One leader recently confided to me that he missed being able to practice the age-old technique of management by walking around which encourages leaders to spend time in the teams workspace frequently and somewhat randomly to problem solve spontaneously. It also allows a leader to check the temperature of the group. Just by walking through the workspace, he could hear the tension or humor in peoples conversations and immediately assess the level of conflict or unity in the team. He could see and hear who was busy and who was goofing off. He could notice whether the new employee was fitting in or not. He never had to ask explicitly because he could see it and hear it. Instead of walking around, now, he must ask each individual personally during a video chat: how is it going? how is the team doing? Then he has to evaluate the honesty in the responses. So, maintaining a positive team climate is still an essential need for leaders, but it is much harder to do remotely. Whats the antidote? The virtual version of management by walking around involves a leader setting the tone on the team by using digital collaboration tools to encourage casual drop-ins. Instead of sending a formal e-mail request to a team member, check their calendar and then hit that video call button. A 3-minute chat can tell you a lot about how someone is doing (are they overwhelmed or highly focused today?) and it gives the team member a chance to raise concerns. If youve got concerns, casually tack on a question to the business at hand.
