Managing Remote Teams Without Losing Productivity or Culture

Remote work is not going away. Managing a distributed team requires different skills, tools, and norms than managing a co-located one.

Communication Norms

• Use project management tools for work updates, not chat
• Record all meetings for different time zones
• Set response time expectations
• Over-communicate context
• Protect deep work time

“Remote work is not about working from home. It is about working from anywhere, at your best.”
