I have been working remotely for the past 8 years. My teams had been spread around the world. How we can make this a success? 1. Provide them tools to stay in touch. Today there are lots of tools and systems that helps to create real time collaboration. Using chat, audio and video calls, and screen sharing. 2. Training them. Now that you provide them with the right tools, it's time to train them. Using real life scenarios, on how they can use those tools to simplify and break distance barriers. 3. No micro-management. They are professionals that's why you hired them. Staying in multiple time zones and try to find the best time to meet is a challenge.
