In my experience calling the local sheriff's office in each of your teams area and asking them to do a welfare check has proven to be an effective motivator. It's amazing how quickly they perk up and start sharing their stories with one another. It's proven to not only light a fire under the team and improve response times it also really improves the team's ability to function as a unit. Truly a team building experience.

If your remote team is unresponsive, it’s a sign that communication needs a reset. Start by setting clear expectations—when and how should updates be shared? Use the right tools for the right conversations: quick chats for small things, emails for details, and video calls for deeper discussions. Make communication a two-way street by creating space for open dialogue, not just top-down updates. Check in regularly, but avoid meeting overload. Foster a culture of trust where people feel heard, valued, and safe to contribute. When communication feels meaningful and intentional, engagement naturally improves.

Se minha equipe remota n?o estivesse respondendo bem, eu come?aria alinhando expectativas sobre tempo de resposta e urgência. Revisaria se os canais de comunica??o est?o sendo bem utilizados e, se necessário, ajustaria. Faria check-ins curtos para entender possíveis bloqueios e garantir que todos tenham clareza sobre prioridades. Também refor?aria o uso de comunica??o assíncrona eficiente, evitando sobrecarga de reuni?es. Se o problema persistisse, chamaria conversas individuais para entender se há desmotiva??o, dificuldades ou falta de alinhamento. O foco seria sempre manter a equipe engajada e produtiva.
