"Tʜᴇ ғʀᴇᴇᴅᴏᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ᴍʏ ᴏᴡɴ ᴍɪsᴛᴀᴋᴇs ᴡᴀs ᴀʟʟ I ᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴡᴀɴᴛᴇᴅ." Said the great Mᴀɴᴄᴇ Rᴀʏᴅᴇʀ (𝔊𝔞𝔪𝔢 𝔬𝔣 𝔗𝔥𝔯𝔬𝔫𝔢𝔰 - for the uninitiated!)

Though it sounds a bit too melodramatic and high on philosophy, it kinda hits the right notes when we speak of Team numberz.

And boy, did we make some mistakes?! Stumbled. Stumbled again. More times than we care to count. But as is the case with any kickass stuff worth betting on, the mistakes made us a little wiser, a bit stronger, more determined, humbler but never disheartened. (you can add a few more adjectives there!). 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝟲𝘁𝗵!

rolled in our 🎉 🎉 SIXTH birthday🎉 🎉 on the 31st July. And rolled it in style!

They say that it takes an entire village to raise a child. And this 'child' of 6 was no different! Too many crazy team members, well-wishers, friends, families, clients, risk-takers, soothsayers, do-gooders, critics, partners-in-crime, prayer-sayers, warning-givers, 'bail-out'ers and many more were involved in getting us to where we are. Some with us, some not, and some kindly looking down from the heavens above! A big shout out to all!

Full of guts and gratitude, here's to a bright, bright future people!

Building trust among the virtual team especially the COVID joiners is a task during such uncertain times. Without the element of trust, there are high chances of team members easily getting distracted from their common goals which might create a 'communication breakdown' casing wastage of resources.

Team members need to know each other if they are working in a team and performing tasks together. The simple act of getting to know each other within the team creates positive energy between team members and they work towards organizational goals and feel motivated.

The article from, ETHR world focus on how trust can be built during the virtual setups with the virtual teams and how the team manager can follow the protocols to preserve the framework of trust & accountability.
