Leave Time for Small Talk in Your Virtual Meetings

Virtual meetings have presented a slew of challenges for managers. The loss of small talk when you enter or leave a room may not have been at the top of that list, but these unstructured conversations help promote strong bonds between team members, and their absence can be corrosive. Here are three easy ways to bring friendly banter into your virtual meetings: Make small talk an agenda item, not an afterthought. You could leave unstructured time at the end of a meeting for casual chit chat or even dedicate an entire meeting to just catching up. Start team meetings with an individual check-in or icebreaker. This could be as simple as asking each person to take a minute to share what's been happening in their lives, both professionally and personally. Introduce agenda items that rely on opinions. Ask an outside-of-the-box question that has no right or wrong answer, such as “When will we see the next concert or sporting event with more than 10,000 attendees?” Poll your team for their views and let the conversation meander.

Reframe a Gap on Your Resume

A gap on your resume doesn’t have to be an obstacle to overcome. You can reframe a break from traditional employment as a valuable learning experience. Start by challenging your assumption that employers only value the skills you developed in paid positions. In fact, they often look for applicants who can demonstrate their ability to problem solve and get things done. You can showcase these skills whether or not they are tied to a long-term, 9-to-5 job. Write down everything you’ve spent time on in between jobs: Maybe you took part in a startup competition during school or helped a friend create a social media campaign for their new Etsy store. Then, ask yourself, “Have I gained any skills that align with the requirements for the job I'm applying for?” You might think that a project has nothing to do with your job search, but if framed right, it could actually add a great deal to your resume. Ultimately, if you’re confident in the value that you can bring to others, your dynamic experience will be seen as the asset that it is.

The role of Industry 4.0 becomes even more critical in the backdrop of a crisis such as COVID-19.

Our insights

• Why it matters. Industry 4.0—connectivity, advanced analytics, automation, and advanced-manufacturing technologies—garnered widespread excitement before the COVID-19 outbreak. As businesses adjust to the next normal, many leaders are asking: What will manufacturing and supply chains look like postpandemic?

• Getting there. Digital transformations at scale are not easy; 70% of them fail. Companies undergoing such transformations will face two opposing forces: developing resilience and agility and preserving cash. We’ve identified three archetypes of how companies will likely proceed. One word to keep in mind as you plan—or continue—your company’s digital transformation: acceleration.

How to Ask Your Boss for an Extended Leave

You may find yourself needing an extended leave from work at some point in your career, whether it’s to care for a sick family member, to go back to school, or for another personal reason. But asking your boss for the time off can be daunting. Here's how to approach the conversation. First, emphasize your commitment. Express your desire to remain with the organization, and be clear about the temporary nature of your ask. Give enough information regarding your situation so that they understand your needs, but don’t feel like you have to share anything that might make you uncomfortable. Come up with a communication plan with your manager. What are you going to tell your coworkers, and what are you going to keep between the two of you? And make sure to set clear expectations and boundaries with your boss and your team around your capacity to work during your leave. Everyone is subject to a major life event that could disrupt our ability to work for a while. Be equipped to handle that possibility should it arise.

Talk to Your Boss About Burnout

If you’re feeling symptoms of burnout, such as anxiety, exhaustion, or hopelessness, it’s important that you take them seriously. You must accept that you need some help — and that that's okay. Admitting this may be a struggle, especially if you're a high achiever who prides yourself on pushing through adversity. You may worry that your boss will think less of you if you acknowledge your limitations, but they’re in the best position to help and will likely respect your honesty. When you talk to them, be specific about the symptoms you’re experiencing. You might say, “I’m feeling overwhelmed by the volume of projects on my plate,” or “I’m feeling really anxious about meeting all of these deadlines." In all likelihood, your stress has probably been visible to your colleagues, so be sure to acknowledge that. A simple statement like, “Look, I know I haven’t been myself lately, and I’m sorry if that’s had a negative impact on you or the team,” can go a long way. Finally, make it clear that you’re asking for help and want to be part of the solution. It may be hard to approach your boss about feeling burned out, but you need to take care of your mental and physical well-being — and give others a chance to offer some help.
