Remote communication comes with the challenge of missing non-verbal cues, making it harder to understand emotional nuances. Maintaining a happy tone and assume the best intentions in others helps foster positive collaboration vibes.
Prioritize asynchronous communication and collaboration, whenever possible. Document everything for the others and for the future. Minimize forced context switching, respect deep focus and flow states, and respect the team’s valuable time. Use the appropriate communication tools for the appropriate purpose.

When sharing important decisions, always include the thought process behind how you reached those conclusions. Great decisions are the outcomes of great thought processes. Sharing the rationale allows others and oneself to evaluate the quality of the decision itself.
Encourage a sense of team collaboration by framing discussions and decisions in terms of “we” rather than “I” or “you.” Collaborative language emphasizes teamwork and shared ownership, creating a stronger team spirit and mutual accountability within the team.
