You’re leading a team through a difficult transition. How can you keep everyone motivated and engaged?

In today's world, it's tough for leaders to keep their teams motivated when things are always changing. It's really important to talk clearly and make sure everyone understands what's going on. A good way to do this is by letting the team help make decisions. When people feel like they're part of the process and their ideas matter, they're more engaged and committed. It's also helpful to show them how these changes can be good for their career or chances of moving up in the company, though this might not click with everyone. By paying attention to what the team needs and wants, leaders can build trust and help everyone get through these changes together.

Communicate often and transparently about the reasons for the transition, timelines and expected outcomes. Uncertainty breeds anxiety so keep people informed. Structured communication channels should be set up with clear ownership so that there are a number of ways the team receives communication and updates.

I agree, I also think it’s important to establish a supportive culture. By creating an inclusive and supportive culture this fosters teamwork, trust, and psychological safety. Encourage open communication, collaboration, and a sense of belonging. By actively supporting your team members, you can help them thrive, boost their morale, and create a positive and high-performing work environment.

Involve the team in planning and decision-making wherever possible. Ask them for input, feedback and ideas. People support what they help build so creating a culture of openness and trust will ensure they feel they can share openly and are supported when they do. Validate emotions like frustration or worry. Change is hard and disruptive. Simply acknowledging their emotions can help.

I completely agree. I would also lead by example. Set the tone for positivity by demonstrating the desired behaviour yourself. Be kind, respectful, and empathetic in all interactions, whether with employees, colleagues, or customers.

Remind people of the vision and how this transition ultimately helps achieve it. Connect their specific work to the bigger goals and purpose, they'll feel empowered if they can see how they're contributing as individuals.

In my experience prioritising a work-life balance was a very important element to a healthy working day. Encourage your team to maintain a healthy work-life balance by promoting flexible working arrangements, encouraging time off, and promoting stress management practices. In order to achieve this you also need to have the right tools and processes in place and as always communication is key.

One of the best ways to get people on board with short term disruption is to get them to see potential long term benefits to them as an individual. As much as we'd love all team members to be fully engaged and dedicated to their jobs, it's unrealistic to expect this, and you're more likely to get buy-in from people if they can clearly see how it will benefit them directly. The more disruptive and challenging the immediate circumstances are, the more important it is to give them a large incentive to persevere, and giving them a compelling reason attached to their long-term goals and career aspiations can be a good way of doing that. Are there certain skills it will give them? Could they leverage this opportunity for a future promotion?
