Create Deep Connections for Productivity

Q. Our team is remote across multiple time zones. How can we get to know each other so we can be more productive?

A. Team leaders strategize with their team to develop a solid foundation for team

development and optimal communication. People need to get to know each other

and build trust to effectively and plan for efficient customer deliveries. The work

together means asking probing questions to continually improve and innovate.

Ideally team members gather in person regularly to experientially learn together,

problem solve, discuss issues, and brainstorm the future opportunities and

markets. Investing in time to get to know each other allows people to support

each other and be open to hear new ideas.

When people talk, they explore what they have in common. Whether it’s hobbies,

where they went to school, or favorite activities, they are eager to find

commonalities. Their interdependence develops.

Once a team meets in person, they can more easily bond and are open to

communicate via Zoom or other Platforms. A day of internal planning can

expedite the work they need to accomplish. Regular in-person meetings are self-

sustaining, and self-organizing teams emerge to accomplish customer challenges.
