Tip #5: Create Consistency Amid Change<\/strong> –<\/strong> <\/em>Create anchor moments<\/em>.<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bridge Leader Tip #5 Create Consistency Amid Change.<\/strong>  Creating anchor moments with your team is like a lighthouse guiding a ship\u2019s crew\u2014offering clarity, direction, and stability, ensuring everyone stays on course and navigates challenges with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridge Leaders <\/strong>establish consistent routines, communication schedules, and check-ins with their teams to create predictability in an unpredictable environment.  Simple practices, like starting meetings with a set agenda or maintaining regular one-on-one conversations, help anchor your team and build trust. When people know what to expect, they feel more secure and better equipped to focus on problem-solving, even in the face of uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Best Buy prioritized employee well-being by clearly communicating policies that encouraged sick employees to stay home with pay, ensuring both safety and clarity during uncertain times ( April, 2020 McKinsey & Company<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, when regular communication is lacking during uncertainty, the impact can be severe. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, some companies faced backlash for unclear safety measures and work expectations, leaving employees feeling confused and unsupported, leading to dissatisfaction, protests, and higher turnover (CBS Mornings, May 13, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about what goes through your mind when you\u2019re expecting dinner to be ready at a certain time, and it\u2019s not\u2014or when someone\u2019s supposed to show up for a meeting, and they\u2019re late. That little moment of confusion or frustration? Multiply that across a team during uncertain times, and it\u2019s easy to see how quickly things can spiral without consistency!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
