Tips for Managing a Remote Team

1:1 calls

  • Have weekly or bi-weekly 1:1 (one on one) calls with employees for 30 minutes to check in with the person, not the work.

  • Topics: Feedback first, then strategic, then tactical. Many managers make the mistake of doing this the other direction.

  • Always have an agenda, but keep it light. This is the exception to the rule of running tight meetings.

Communicate publicly

  • Avoid direct messages (e.g., Slack). Having discussions in public channels to make yourself more accessible and visible. Set the example for others to do the same.

  • Document things yourself. Don’t delegate all documentation.
