Managing Remote Teams Effectively

Remote Leadership

Managing remote teams requires different skills than managing co-located teams.

Over-communicate

In remote settings, you can't rely on hallway conversations. Be explicit and thorough in communication.

Trust and Autonomy

Empower team members to make decisions. Micromanagement is even less effective remotely.

Regular Check-ins

One-on-ones are crucial. Make time for personal connection, not just work updates.

Document Everything

Create a single source of truth. Good documentation enables async work.
