The post-covid managerial revolution

Containment has highlighted both the challenges and opportunities of remote management. As we emerge from this global crisis, it's time to look back, not only on the resilience of teams, but also to recognize the need for radical change in the way we manage teams and organizations.

Focus on (disputed) pre-pandemic management

Even before the pandemic turned our lives upside down, management was already under fire. Surveys were multiplying, revealing a lack of trust, recognition and considerable work demands. These findings remind us that a profound rethinking of management was already necessary. Studies, such as ADP's, have shown that management shortcomings are the main cause of lower productivity, according to many French employees. The pandemic has exacerbated these problems and highlighted the urgent need to review our management practices.

Management and containment: what approach to use?  

Containment revealed management shortcomings. Micromanagement, cumbersome administrative processes and a lack of corporate culture were highlighted. Faced with this reality, it's time to restore balance by returning to a more human style, focused on supporting, aligning and engaging teams.

Communication errors, such as those made by Uber during its mass layoffs, remind us of the importance of empathy and compassion in the crisis management process. In these uncertain times, it is essential that managers and leaders establish flexible, empathetic relationships with their employees, in order to effectively guide them through the challenges ahead.

Entering a new management era

Management can no longer be limited to a simple role of supervising human resources. We need to move towards a model centered on leadership, trust and adaptability. Managers must be leaders who understand the individual needs of their teams, while maintaining their agility and efficiency.

We are entering an era where management must adapt to a diversity of contexts and personalities. The old methods are no longer sufficient. We need to put people at the heart of our concerns, and anticipate the changes to come. The managerial revolution begins today, and it will determine which companies thrive in tomorrow's professional world.
