Then learn to be a better manager rather than making a whole bunch of people miserable to save yourself the hassle of improving.
- jtonz 4y agoPeople will under-deliver when there is no clear outcome or agenda for their work. Within the office the pressure of contributing to work is provided because others can see what you have on your screen and if its not "work". You contribute because you have to, not because you feel that your outputs are moving the needle in a positive direction. When you WFH that changes ('aint nobody watching your screen but you) but the underlying problem still remains. The team are not working towards a clear goal that they understand and want to achieve. When you provide that, the team will always contribute effectively because its interesting and importantly allows them to feel like their work means something. WFH productivity is not the problem. Managers providing worthy work is.
