Staying connected to your team is challenging enough but in a remote setting, it's downright daunting. If you want to be in such a leadership seat, it's going to require more effort and consistently. The key in my humble opinion is to clearly define each team members role, their specific tasks , as well as team objectives and how team members can collaborate towards those objectives. The latter allows for the team to stay connected to each other. With this clear outline and expectations set, there is no gray area as they work remotely.Quick one on one check in's with each team member as well as a weekly team meeting is critical to keep everyone connected and on the same page. I would rotate team members to lead the team meetings as well.

Keep your team connected with regular video meetings and updates, ensuring everyone stays informed. Practice active listening and provide prompt feedback to foster a supportive environment. Embrace flexibility and adapt to different time zones and work styles.

Effective communication is the cornerstone of remote work. Use concise and clear language in emails, chat messages, and video calls. Regularly update your team on project progress and ensure everyone is on the same page. Utilize tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom to keep communication channels open and accessible.

Establish team agreements to define clear expectations on the following: 1) Communication channels: what do we use email, Teams/Slack, WhatsApp, or a phone call for? Be sure to identify which channel is appropriate for different levels of urgency. 2) Response time: For instance 24 hours for email, 2 hours for Teams, etc. 3) Disconnection time: For example, no emails or messages after 5 pm or during weekends (if you want to write the message, do it and schedule it for later). 4) Set up a date to check on how the plan is going and revise any agreements if needed. Have a healthy remote collaboration!

Working remotely can blur the lines between work and personal life. Establish clear boundaries by setting specific work hours and sticking to them. Communicate your availability to your team and respect theirs. This not only helps in maintaining a work-life balance but also ensures productivity and prevents burnout.

The foundation of working in a remote setting is built on trust. It's through your actions and over time is when trust is earned or broken, whether in a leadership position or as a single contributor. It's imperative that clear expectations are set for each team members indivually and as a team. Being accessible to your teammates is paramount as well and to any stakeholders. The good news is that it becomes very clear who is accessible and who 'disappears' and who meets their objectives and who doesn't. The more expectations are being met in every respect the more trust is built and as long as their is consistent and honest communication , then it should be a recipe for a successful and for a highly productive virtual team.

Trust is fundamental in any team, especially in a virtual setting. Foster trust by being reliable and meeting your commitments. Share updates on your progress and be transparent about any challenges you face. Encourage open dialogue and create a supportive environment where team members feel comfortable sharing their ideas and concerns.

Organization is the key to any successful collaboration. Having clearly defined roles and expectations of tasks makes life easier for everyone involved. I like to organize my day hour by hour, for me it allows me to maximize my time and manage my work responsibilities as well as my responsibilities as a wife and mom. Also, utilizing calendars, tasks, and reminders helps in ensuring that all team member are on the same page. Having everything organized allows for better productivity across the team.

In my opinion, people do great work when they like what they do. Of course, I would not expect anyone to do the work flawlessly on the first day. But if a person enjoys what he or she is doing, it increases the chance for improvement. Excellent work comes with experience and passion. Being organized may help you complete the work in time, but the quality of this work mainly depends on the person's input. Therefore, I emphasize that knowing a core competency is more important than finishing work on time.
