What leaders can learn from astronauts to build more connected remote teams (via KelloggInsight)

The researchers never thought "that we would be drawing conclusions from space teams to our teams here on Earth," DeChurch said.. Contractor, a professor of management and organizations at Kellogg, and DeChurch, a professor in Northwestern's School of Communication, discussed their research with NASA, and shared some insights that workers and leaders can use to help remote teams function cohesively.

Leaders here on Earth should likewise ensure that all of their employees understand how their work, however high-minded or mundane, fits into the organization's goals. This is particularly important, Contractor says, if you're onboarding a new employee. Contractor and DeChurch also advised leaders to be aware of the "third-quarter phenomenon," the idea that teams, whether on football fields or space stations, tend to see slumps in mood and motivation in the third quarter. So team leaders need to manage those slumps, perhaps by offering more support, introducing new routines, or weaving in some light-hearted moments where humor can help restore people's energies.

Contractor says this unknown actually doesn't matter that much. "If we don't have [a timeline] we make one up in our minds and we use those as a way to pace ourselves," he said.
