We highlight important tips to effectively manage remote teams, in turn, ensuring maximum productivity and collaboration.
If you are going to manage remote teams effectively, first you need to manage your own time well. Time is a precious commodity. We can't make time, only lose it. I’ll start with my favourite time management tip:
- Don't book one hour meetings just because it’s a convenient time unit. Create shorter meetings, starting at 20 minutes.
- When significant issues arise during a meeting, taken them off-line if they are likely to cause the meeting to overrun.
- Create a daily to-do list to keep you focused on achieving your objectives.
- Give your brain a twice daily break for 10 to 15 minutes with no email, phone, meetings, social media, etc.

Remote working has become a new norm due to the onset of Covid19. While it has some advantages, it can be monotonous after some time as one misses the facetime of colleagues and a work environment. One may not put necessary hours because no one is there to watch you. Under the circumstances, it is important to plan enough work with a deadline in advance. It is also necessary to have daily catchup for a short duration to check on the status. A good resource management tool that has team collaboration capability can help here.
