421: The 4 Rules for Managing Remote Teams

Who has a love-hate relationship with working remotely?
Most of my clients love working remotely, but they know that they could be more productive.
If that’s you, let’s see how we can make you (and your team) more efficient.
First off, working from home doesn’t mean working from your couch. No matter where you are, you should set up a corner that you associate with hard work and focus. That way, you can instantly get in the zone as soon as you sit down at your desk.
Then, if you have remote staff, your primary goal is to make them feel they are still part of a team. Having a morning huddle with your team is crucial to set the tone and let people know that they’re being held accountable for short term goals as much as the long term ones.
Also, don’t forget to transition to a 100% cloud business! I know most of you may still be reluctant to do that, but don’t forget that work that can’t be accessed from your team is worth nothing!
Last but not least, don’t be afraid to time tasks when you delegate them for the first time. You need to know how much time your staff needs to allocate to each project, and if you don’t know, have a birds-eye view, you will end up wasting a ton of time and money!
