Está administrando un equipo remoto. ¿Cómo puedes mantener a todos en la misma página?

There are several strategies that can be employed for remote teams to remain aligned, motivated, and productive despite geographical distances. The first step is to establish clear expectations regarding project goals, timelines, and individual responsibilities. Also, building trust and rapport among team members through regular check-ins and virtual team-building activities is crucial. We need to actively seek and provide feedback and input which would ensure continuous improvement and would empower team members to take ownership of their work.

Regular team meetings are essential for reviewing progress, reinforcing team objectives, and addressing challenges. Utilizing tools like Microsoft Teams or Google Meet enables real-time interactions, enabling quick updates and keeping all team members aligned. Additionally, from my personal experience, virtual team bonding activities are vital, specially during challenging situations. They help foster camaraderie among team members, boosting their morale and strengthening connections. These activities proved invaluable for me and my team during covid-19 lockdown phase.

Having led remote teams for more than a decade, including team members in other countries, I have learnt that building trust and rapport is key to these long distance relationships. Having said that, it's easier said than done. Co-working teams tend to spend a lot of time together beyond official meetings - during breaks, or while moving around in office. These opportunities are not available with remote teams. In remote set-ups it's very easy to focus on the goals and forget the people who are helping you achieve them. So, be more intentional. Celebrate all wins, be it large or small. Also, don't hesitate to ask for help. 'Can you help' is one of the strongest, yet seldom used phrase to build relationships.

1. In my opinion managing a remote team is historic perspective, the new norm is leading the team. There is a difference between both. 2. A leader should be clear on one's own purpose & direction at first, & align it with the team frequently. 3. When a big picture is aligned within the team, it drives the passion within the team. 4. The passion generates unrealistic goals. 5. When a team starts chasing unrealistic goals, realistic outcomes are derived naturally. The traditional approach of controlling and managing do not work in a remote set up. Its the trust on each other towards a common goal that matters.

Firstly, schedule time when you are only available for your staff members. Not always easy, but very important. Secondly plan with your team. They will often have great ideas on ways to help you succeed.

Work-life balance has been the center of many conversations, negotiations, analysis and debates. Covid shuffled everything up by entangling work and personal life together: btw we only heave ONE Life!
