Here's how you can effectively communicate with remote teams as an executive.

De las lecciones aprendidas de la pandemia y que debemos capitalizar, es usar la tecnologia para comunicarnos mas, ampliar el networking, hacer contacto con los equipos en lugares remotos. Hemos visto que hay una gran necesidad de socializar, encontrar espacios no solo para reuniones de trabajo sino para compartir incluso con colegas de otras industrias que estan en otros países ,lejos de sus familias y les interesa conocer otras personas que tienen intereses afines.

Remote communication doesn't fundamentally change how we should communicate, and that's the key point! When I contacted a lawyer from another country that will work in partnership with me, we spent the first 30 minutes talking about our personal lives, children, parents, and grandparents. We discovered that we had a lot in common. Now, we're no longer strangers working together; we've built the foundation for a strong relationship. Any relationship is first and foremost about building trust. The first step is to listen to each other and empathize.

Effective communication with remote teams hinges on leveraging the right technology. Tools like video conferencing, instant messaging, and collaborative software are crucial for creating a virtual office environment. These tools facilitate real-time interactions and seamless idea exchanges, replicating the dynamic of an in-person workspace. As an executive, ensure everyone is proficient with these tools and that they are embedded into daily workflows. This consistent integration promotes steady communication, transparency, and enhances overall team productivity, fostering a collaborative and cohesive remote work culture.

- Schedule regular video meetings to provide updates, align on goals, and address any concerns. - Utilize collaborative tools and platforms to ensure seamless communication and project management. - Maintain transparency and accessibility, encouraging open dialogue and prompt responses to team inquiries.

Remote work requires an extra dose of confidence in delegating. That is why I believe it is crucial to define clear expectations of the results to be achieved. Routines must be added (just as in face-to-face mode) to be able to provide actionable feedback that can correct any deviation. In the same way and in hybrid roles, it is important to align face-to-face meetings of the entire team to streamline and plan the future activities as well create close relationships fostering collaboration.

Poner tareas , distribuir funciones para que sean reuniones colaborativas, rotar quien lidera, convoca la reunion, hace que haya contacto uno a uno entre los miembros que participan en las reuniones ;no solo para hablar de un tema puntual sino para poner a disposición de los demas areas de fortaleza y hacer trabajos conjuntos; compartiendo ,salen ideas innovadoras y se crean proyectos inesperados.

I believe encouraging feedback and active participation is an essential key factor to obtain maximum benefit and value of remote meeting. Although remote meeting might be challenging in terms of lacking physical community to react with, but remote meeting through meetings applications will add more flexibility to express opinion, thoughts, insights and present and share it to all.

1. Open & Transparent Communication - Regular Updates: Keep your team informed about company goals, changes, & decisions. Transparency builds trust & reduces uncertainty. - Feedback Channels: Encourage open feedback and listen to your team's concerns and suggestions. 2. Consistent Check-Ins - Weekly Meetings: Schedule regular virtual meetings to discuss progress, challenges, & upcoming tasks. - One-on-One Sessions: Have individual check-ins to understand each team member's needs & provide personalized support. 3. Empowerment and Autonomy - Delegate Responsibility: Trust your team members with important tasks & give them the autonomy to make decisions. - Recognize Achievements: Acknowledge & celebrate individual and team accomplishments.

Embrace Essentialism In remote work, essentialism is key to clarity and efficiency. Home distractions can derail productivity, so focus on: Prioritize Clarity: Communicate directly and succinctly, focusing on core objectives. Streamline Meetings: Set clear agendas, stick to time limits, and ensure actionable takeaways to keep sessions productive and engaging. Minimize Distractions: Encourage dedicated workspaces and clear boundaries to maintain focus. Adopting essentialism ensures purposeful interactions, driving tangible progress and fostering a cohesive, productive remote team.
