Develop inclusive, high-performing teams ready for today’s macro challenges
Many leaders of today are having to navigate macro challenges of changing workforce trends, economic uncertainties, technological change, and burnout while also meeting the demands of a hybrid, flexible workplace.
Even before the pandemic, many were working with globally dispersed teams, and the last few years have shown a need for more inclusive teams regardless of physical location. Hybrid work is here to stay, and leaders who can manage their teams most effectively across these environments will see important gains.
Gartner states 76% of employees site organizational culture as important for them to be effective in their jobs. When employees are emotionally engaged, culture connectedness can increase by 43%.
This poses a challenge for leaders who are working with hybrid teams and are looking to foster an inclusive, high performing, engaged culture.
While virtual or hybrid environments do not afford random side-bar conversations, “water cooler talk,” or spontaneous humor, they do offer a mirror on how intentionally we connect with each other for meaningful conversations. What has become clear these last few years is a leader’s behavior and intentional efforts to communicate make a difference in how individual teams view their company culture and their contribution to the organization.
Advantage Performance Group partners with Multipliers + BlueEQ to offer powerful duo strategies for leaders to effectively navigate current challenges and develop psychologically safe environments where employees’ strengths are celebrated. By applying principles from Liz Wiseman’s Multipliers and leveraging higher emotional intelligence through BlueEQ, leaders can develop and lead effective, high-performing, globally diverse teams to higher levels of performance. The following is how these skills can make an impact in a few important areas:
Hybrid teams
- Multipliers: Leaders who are Multipliers excel at empowering and developing their team members regardless of their physical location. They provide clear expectations, delegate authority, and trust remote employees to take ownership of their work. This fosters a sense of autonomy, engagement, and productivity among remote team members.
- BlueEQ: Emotional intelligence plays a vital role in building connections and maintaining effective communication with remote team members. Leaders with high emotional intelligence, enhanced through BlueEQ, can adapt their communication style, actively listen, and demonstrate empathy to promote a sense of connection and understanding among remote team members.
Diversity and inclusion
- Multipliers: Leaders who are Multipliers value and leverage the diverse perspectives and capabilities of their team members. They create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute. Multipliers actively seek input and collaboration from individuals with different backgrounds to foster innovation and creativity.

Leaders with high emotional intelligence, enhanced through BlueEQ, can navigate cultural differences, recognize unconscious biases, and foster an inclusive culture that celebrates diversity. They actively promote equality and respect, and they create opportunities for diverse voices to be heard.
Well-being
- Multipliers: Multiplier leaders prioritize the well-being of their team members, recognizing that as crucial for both personal and professional success. They create a supportive work environment that promotes work-life balance, encourages self-care, and offers resources for managing stress. Multipliers also emphasize the importance of regular check-ins and open communication to address well-being concerns.
- BlueEQ: Emotional intelligence helps leaders recognize and respond to the emotional well-being of their team members. Leaders with high emotional intelligence can identify signs of stress, burnout, or disengagement, and provide appropriate support and resources. They foster a positive and healthy work environment by promoting trust, empathy, and open dialogue.
Challenging economy
- Multipliers: Multiplier leaders excel at optimizing the talents and capabilities of their team members, even in challenging economic conditions. They leverage the strengths of their team and foster a culture of innovation and adaptability to navigate the changing economic landscape. Multipliers also emphasize resourcefulness, creativity, and strategic decision-making.
