How to strengthen social capital in the workplace

by Jana Wölfl | Jan 26, 2023 | Digital Transformation, Leadership Impact, Leadership Tips | 0 comments

Why do you like your job?

Is it the work, the salary, or perhaps the interaction with your colleagues? 

The latter is being neglected in many companies, especially during the pandemic. Until then, people had lunch together from time to time, chatted briefly at the coffee machine or worked together on projects.

How to foster exhange and strengthen social capital in the workplace.

But how do you foster this exchange, this connection in a hybrid or even virtual environment?

How to maintain attention in online meetings

How to maintain attention in online meetings

by Peter Grabuschnig | Jan 10, 2023 | Best Practice, Leadership Tips, learning effectiveness | 0 comments

Read this article to find out how you can get everyone to listen to you in online meetings and what you need to keep in mind in a hybrid setting.

How to maintain attention in online meetings

You know it – sometimes you are leading an online meeting and you get the feeling that the participants do not pay enough attention to you. Even if the topics discussed seem exciting to you, it is sometimes simply not possible to keep everyone on the ball. Read this article to find out how you can get everyone to listen to you in online meetings and what you need to keep in mind in a hybrid setting.

The beginning is everything

The very start of the meeting is important. In a virtual context, we often lack “arriving in the room.” That makes it more important to pave the way for a pleasant start: make brief small talk and ask how people are doing. This can often be enough before jumping right into the topic. Activation methods, which you should use thoughtfully and appropriately, have a further influence on attention.

Clarifying expectations

It is also important to clarify the expectations of the meeting and its process right from the start. If you want people to listen and participate, you should make this clear from the beginning and mention that the meeting will not be a frontal lecture. Then your participants can prepare themselves. You should always avoid monologues – keep your participants active, let them talk and discuss, contribute actively. This way you will have their full attention right from the start.

Activation tools

To activate people, you can use simple techniques that also work well in face-to-face meetings. Ask lots of questions – These can be short chat questions that you address directly to individuals to get their attention. They can also be rhetorical questions that encourage participants to think. Short surveys using tools such as Slido or Mentimeter, as well as scale questions (e.g. from 1-10) also work very well.

Observe the energy Level

People love to self-assess. This can be a question about a specific topic, but it can also be a question about the energy level after some time in the meeting to decide if it needs a break. Break-out sessions create interaction and get quieter participants to become active. Make sure you have the right group size (never assign less than 3 and more than 5 participants to one team).

Also, try to make the content as interesting as possible. Think about what is appropriate for your audience and use storytelling to bring your facts and figures to life. Relevant examples will help you relate to your target audience. Dale Carnegie said nearly 100 years ago, “Talk to people about themselves and they’ll listen to you for hours.”

How to keep everyone in mind

As a facilitator, you should always keep an eye on the group, proactively address quieter participants, and cut frequent talkers short to the extent appropriate. For larger groups, you should work online with the “raise your hand” function. This allows you to keep a list of speakers and always see whose turn it is next. In addition, activate the view of the participants to always see all names and try to actively address people whose camera image you do not see. Otherwise you tend to address only the people you see in front of you.

Attention keeping in hybrid mode

Hybrid meetings bring additional challenges. The most important thing is not to forget the online participants. It’s best to have a separate screen for the video overview that everyone can see. In addition, practice has shown that an extra moderator on site for the virtual session is very beneficial. This can also simply be someone from the group who puts on the hat to look after the participants. In most cases, the overall quality of the meeting will suffer if you’re running the meeting and managing the virtual participants on the side.

As you can see, it is definitely possible to make your online meeting so exciting that your participants want to listen to you. Try out some of the tools next time!

Workation evaluation – lessons we have learned so far

Vacation during working hours seems like a dream – but is it really?

We provide a workation evaluation, weigh the pros and cons and look at the lessons we have learned so far.

* Workation evaluation – Lessons Learned so far

Workation – Work and Vacation – has become a popular tool in recent years for companies to give employees a little relief. After all, who doesn’t want to escape the gray daily work life for a few weeks?

In this article, you’ll learn a little more about what we have learned from our workation experiences so far, and what possible consequences it could entail.

Work on vacation

At first glance, it seems strange to put the two words work and vacation together. Normally, when we are on vacation, we don’t want to think about our job, we want to switch off.

In the past, digital nomads in particular, i.e. remote workers, were not tied to a specific workplace. But in the age of digitalization and technological progress, more employees get the opportunity – regardless of the industry – to work from somewhere else.

Workation is about escaping your work routine.

For a limited time, employees can travel to a specific country and do their work from there. Whether from the beach, a big city or the mountains – the location doesn’t matter. The only important thing is that the Internet connection is stable enough and that the agreed times are adhered to. The rest is mostly up to the employees.

Is all that glitters gold?

Workation evaluation – Lessons Learned so far

Vacation during working hours seems like a dream at first. But is this concept really ideal? We weigh the pros and cons.

Pros:

  • The advantages are obvious. You discover new places and experience a different culture.
  • In addition to the usual work tasks, you can relax a little.
  • Change of scenery: Everyone needs a change from the usual four office walls.
  • Travel stimulates creativity. New impulses arise from new impressions.
  • Flexibility – employees are free to decide where they want to work from.
  • Traveling with other team members can additionally be a good way to get to know each other better and build a stronger team

2022 Facts and figures about workation

Clearly, the concept of Workation is extremely attractive to employees.

But we also come across some benefits for companies themselves. According to statistics from workation.com

  • 93% of employees are more productive than before.
  • This increases the performance of remote working by 20% overall.
  • In turn, the company saves per remote employee $11,000 per year.
  • In addition, 86% of Millennials want more flexibility in the workplace.
  • Workation can be a great solution to create more agility and increase employee satisfaction.

Cons:

  • Complete relaxation is not guaranteed. You probably think about work most of the time and so you can’t switch off completely. Especially when your job is hectic and you have a lot to do it’s hard to enjoy the vacation part of workation.
  • Your technical equipment – laptop, cables, etc. – adds extra baggage.
  • If the Internet connection is not stable, you can hardly do your job.

Maintaining a better work-life balance with workation

In the end, however, it is worth giving the concept of workation a chance. In most cases, employees return more relaxed and can continue working with renewed energy. Complications can’t be avoided, but after all, they also arise during normal travel.

We at MDI have already tested workation ourselves. If you want to know how it went, you can read about it here 🙂

How can I actively share knowledge as a leader?

Knowledge management – I know that I know (nothing)

How do you deal with knowledge management as a leader? What do we really know and how can we use it to our best advantage? 

Mentoring & Knowledge Management

Our MDI partner Anita Berger focuses on mentoring and knowledge management. We asked her a few questions on this topic and came up with some exciting approaches.

You can find them here in this interview:

What is knowledge management as a leader or mentor all about?

What is behind explicit and tacit knowledge?


The active and conscious generation, the use and sharing of knowledge in organizations are decisive competitive factors. Managers and mentors make a relevant contribution to this. They can make knowledge available themselves, as well as create the framework and an environment that enables and promotes knowledge management.

Explicit Knowledge

Knowledge management seems to be easier when it comes to explicit knowledge. That is, when “we know what we know” and it is “only” a matter of making this knowledge available.

Tacit Knowledge

It becomes more challenging when it comes to tacit knowledge. Implicit knowledge is the kind of knowledge that we are not always aware of – where we don’t even know what we know.

The development of explicit and tacit knowledge can be vividly described using the following example from everyday life: In the beginning, we learn explicitly: traffic rules, shifting gears, operating the clutch, … Every single step is thought through consciously. After some time, we just “drive” – it has become implicit knowledge.

We cannot easily describe what or how we do something, how we came to a decision or how we acquired the knowledge.

How can we now succeed in making tacit knowledge available ?

What concrete tips do you have for this?


The STAR method
– often known as an interview technique in recruiting – as well as the Knowledge Management For Implicit Knowledge Canvas – both are methods/techniques to become aware of what you know as a leader or as a mentor, so that you can then share this very valuable knowledge.

How does the STAR principle work and how can we apply it?

The STAR interview method is an acronym and stands for

  • Situation
  • Task
  • Action
  • Result

The STAR interview method

If, as a mentor or leader, I want to pass on knowledge about how a particular customer project was won, a cultural initiative was successfully implemented, a critical discussion with challenging stakeholders was conducted in a solution-oriented manner, or even what was a real “fuck-up” in team leadership, the STAR interview method can help.

It enables us to identify more clearly what contributed to success or to recognize what needs to be done differently in the future. Thus, implicit knowledge becomes explicit again.

  • SITUATION: What was the initial situation? Who was involved? What were the general conditions?
  • TASK: What was your task/assignment? What did you want to achieve?
  • ACTION: What did you do concretely? What concrete steps did you take?
  • RESULT: What was the concrete result? What were the consequences? What results did you achieve?

How does the Knowledge Management Canvas help us?

The Knowledge Management Canvas provides a framework to identify where tacit knowledge may exist. It provides valuable starting points for active knowledge sharing through active engagement with the areas of the Canvas.

Knowledge Management – Tacit Knowledge Canvas

So how we can promote and share our knowledge is not too difficult. Often, it simply requires a more structured approach to share as a leader or mentor relevant information.

Agile mindset beyond company boundaries

In order to compete in a constantly changing market, companies must be able to react quickly to changes.
Strong networking, increased knowledge exchange and an agile mindset beyond company boundaries are crucial.

Leadership in times of crisis

We are in highly uncertain times – everything around us is always changing and no decision is really definite. Every day we are confronted with new and unfamiliar challenges.

Sometimes, as a leader, it can feel overwhelming. In this article, you will find some practical tips on how to handle challenging situations to the best of your ability.

Without continuous development, there is stagnation

A simple but important skill when managing crises is the will to keep developing. If you grow both personally and in your role as a leader, you can essentially work in a calmer and more reflective way.

Smart networking

For this, it is important to have a good network and to share knowledge within it. Doing so is important because with an ever-increasing amount of information, we remember less and less and find it difficult to filter out the relevant information.

Find your community

Until now, most professionals exchanged knowledge at business events like Leadership Horizon – at summits, congresses or events. However, there are also virtual communities on all kinds of topics. One example is our community personalist.at – a platform for HR experts or the LinkedIn Leadership Community, where leadership development is the leading topic.

Open Knowledge

In order to learn sustainably, it is not only our previous components of technology and people that are important – but also digitisation. This is where the concept of Open Knowledge comes into play. Knowledge is open when it is easily

  • accessible,
  • changeable
  • and shareable by all.

This perspective requires organisations to reflect on how they deal with information and how it is distributed. Open Knowledge thus plays a role not only in future training, but also in the economic survival of companies.

Agility according to the TIE model

(by Gunther Fürstberger) 


In terms of the TIE model, the following factors are necessary for an agile approach:

  • Transparency (T) between companies in terms of information exchange.
  • Iteration (I) – tools, methods and content are tested and reviewed in short cycles – leading to rapid further development
  • Empowerment (E) by trusted guides, executives, opinion and market leaders.

The principle of agility is generally seen as a requirement for the ongoing changes we face. It no longer functions  as a buzzword, but rather as a must in order to be able to deal with crisis situations.

In the future, we should therefore be able to apply an agile mindset not only within a company, but also beyond the company’s boundaries.
