Remote teams are here to stay. But managing one requires trust, tools, and intentional communication.
1. Hire the Right People
Look for self-starters with strong written communication. Trial tasks are better than interviews alone.
2. Use the Right Tools
Recommended stack:
- Slack for communication
- Asana/Trello for task management
- Zoom for video calls
- Google Drive for collaboration
3. Set Clear Expectations
Define roles, deadlines, and availability. Overcommunicate in the beginning.
4. Foster Team Culture
Have virtual coffee chats, celebrate wins, and create shared rituals to keep the human connection alive.
5. Measure Outcomes, Not Hours
Trust your team to get results—not to just “look busy.”
