The 21 Rules for Managing Remote Teams 

Any rules that I left out? Please let me know.

Very informative! 100% agree! What that doesn't get measured, doesn't get managed. And if you don't meet people on a set time and rhythm, people can easily get distracted and tasks often don't get done effectively.

Lower the music please !

Fantastic presentation. I didn't notice the music nor did I think about the volume until I saw other comments. I think the volume is fine. You are a gem! So many gold nuggets in your presentation. I counted 18 tips, but non the less, keep up the great work!

Thanks for sharing! My take-away from this video: 1: Track hours worked, attendance and other basic measures of productivity 2: Implement systems 3: Allow a degree of flexible work hours but also keep some consistency 4: Track work output 5: Organize a system of overlapping times for communicating in different time zones. 6: Do a quarterly review to see how your virtual team members are coping 7: Compensate for the fact that you are not bumping into each other 8: Have a chat room open constantly 9: Be wary of Chat and Email overload 10: Choose the right communication style 11: Use tools for quick video or visual communication 12: Use screen sharing tools 13: Video conferencing technologies 14: Set up a meeting rhythm 15: Effective collaboration on documents and spreadsheets 16: Set up a project management system, and actually use it 17: Test new employees with short-term work before hiring them full time 18: Pay virtual team members well 19: Look for people who are the right fit for virtual work 20: Create a standard on-boarding process for educating new employees about your company 21: Inspire via video 22: Meet in person 23: Nurture virtual friendships 24: Create a true “team” feeling 25: Beware of a mixed office and remote culture

Some very useful points, thanks. One thing I would say is that the music is way too loud in your mix. Could barely hear you in some parts.

Thank you sir for teaching us Rules for managing Remote

You mentioned 18 tips mate. :)

Where are number 7 and 8?

About the watercooler idea: what if people generally don't want to spend their social time online? Can you expect them to socialize online anyways?

These were helpful tips, but I had to exit the video halfway due to the background audio being too distracting. Hopefully other videos of yours have a lower volume for the background noise!

Wow i not expected you are from time doctor app i use it as well . Thanks for tips . One note i think in next videos dont use music in background is bit annoying. Is better just you talkit. Thank you

Maybe ditch the 'background' music that you're competing with

Here's another relevant guide for agile teams trying to embrace remote work ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F2LJv82k_7o.html

Very Informative...

Thank you! I am starting a remote management position soon so this was a great introduction with great points to note!

Where is the indexing with timestamps linking to the chapters in the video? Like Below 0:00 INTRO 0:20 COMPENSATE FOR IN PERSON INTERACTION 1:25 CONSTANT VIRTUAL CHATROOM

Good content but the background music is VERY distracting

COOL I GUESS . MUCH KEYNOTES AND ON POINT OF SYNTHESIS

bg music is so loud.. hard to hear you man! But thanks was useful

Rules, tips will really help us.

FEEDBACK... The music is louder than you are. next time it should be a more faint background if necessary.

If U guys have any system to produce the videos like this U should check to remove this background noise pretending to be kind of music. 👍

Background music is interrupting, too loud

Sorry, interesting concepts, but the music was way too loud, and there there was water noise, and clearly other people talking around you at a certain point. All this caused me headache, and I had to stop halfway through. It's sad because it seems to come from real experience, and it's not just one of those "covid remote working" videos that came out in the last 15 months. From what I managed to follow, I just disagree with one point: using video and/or audio as much as possible. Having trackable discussion (on chat, emails) has a big value, especially if the communication is dense and you touch many different topics.

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts on rules of managing remote teams.

Looking forward to more videos from this series!

amazing video, one note though, please lower the volume of the music, its so distracting

Nice tips but the background music need to be lower or removed. Difficult to focus with it.

Very nice

They are really interesting.

It is a nice talk. But I really hate the music behind.

Very essential information sir thank you

I didn't like the music background, but nice content ✌

Excellent video! Lots of great points. I watched it once from beginning to end and then a couple times pausing and taking notes. Liked and subscribed! 👍🏽 Keep the great content coming.

interesting topic but the background music spoils it

Hey Everyone Im looking to work with some coaches in creating virtual team if you know anyone please let me know thank you

Nice information

Good to know you've got employee in Nigeria.

Numbering wasn't in sequence and there weren't 21 rules - many missing - I guess you were checking whether everyone is paying attention. Anyways, good info.👌👍

That loud music! Yikes🥴

Question. If a group of people working for a company are remote and they have individual projects, rather than the shared projects envisioned by scrums etc, what makes them a team and gives them a sense of a shared culture and belonging? Real question honestly. Post pandemic my team of staff will really only have me, their line manager, in common as they will be primarily home based. We will only need to come together for team meeting type discussions about processes and other changes affecting us individually equally. They can give each other ideas and advice on their own work but they don't actively collaborate. I'd like to support them to have a shared sense of being. Currently all RU-vid videos I've seen are on collaborating teams, would be great to hear more on this different kind of remote setup. Thanks.

For the most part, I dislike watercooler conversations, big waste of time on pointless conversations. Thanks for the very useful tips

Very great video thank you

Good tips

The background music made this almost unlistenable. Almost like it was two different songs at the same time?

Hi.. Great video. I cannot access the link from the video on systems - can anyone share it with me? Appreciations!

Sorry. I can’t finish watching this video because of the background music.

Great video & very useful tips. On the other hand, annoying loud music!

Your editor made the music too loud. The music needs to be in the background, but it is too punchy.

Really helpful tips in the current world. Thanks, Liam!

Really? Keep comunication and using tools? LOL In a nutshell... "Rule #1, Breathe. It is important for your teammates to know you're breathing."

The music is loud, and none of the applications you are talking about are allowed by my organization.

Don't let your music be distracting to the spoken word *cough

Very good video

I could live without the music, but thanks got the information

could you please explain why i just only got 18 tips frm the video? i mean did you cut it or i just lacked some parts of the tips, as you said that video is the richest communications tool, but what i experienced is i lacked some points of your tips. however you stopped numbering frm 12:35 mins tho..please give me advice about it.

Liam Martin: Thank you for a nice job! I'm totally sold on your infrastructure of reporting that supports good contracts, and hence, good collaboration. Can I ask one question, please? People used to wonder why we need firms, and the answer was: transaction costs with individual workers would otherwise be too high. But you seem to have erased much of that. Could your disciplines enable a collaboration of freelancers, who would be loyal to you because of their extra professionalism and responsibility?

great video, thanks

Probly the best video I’ve seen on this topic in a very long time Great great great The music was super relaxing lol

Thanks for this video! It exactly the info I was looking for. I'm in the process of recreating a remote team, I did a sort of 2 month trial run previously and it literally fell apart at the seems, workers did a half ass job on the project, which I still had to pay them for, I would upload projects and It won't be seen until it's too late... It was just a mess and its really because I hadn't had enough time to do most of the things you mentioned in this video so I've ceased the remote program for a while to do some more research on how I can keep it running effectively and this video really helped put things into perspective. I have a few questions though... 1. Is it necessary to have a face to face retreat / get together get together if it's a small team like 5-10 people? 2. That part about working with them part time before doing it full time, would it apply for remote workers since they're basically already working part-time? I'm guessing maybe that depends on the type of company, right? 3. Lastly, basecamp looks like just what I need but I realize that it costs 99/month (not that expensive for what its offering) but I just started this company and I haven't even create the perfect team yet that I know could get the job done so that I can afford the subscription so which online collab and communication tool would you suggest based on my situation?

We talk quite a bit about the benefits of having Remote Teams -- it just opens the door to so much opportunity! Thanks for these tips - Subscribed!

I don't know if it's just me but after the tip number 6 you skip to tip number 9. Where is 7 and 8?

Music WAAAAAAAAYYY too loud and distracting. Hard to even hear what you are saying.

Do you provide consulting services to setup a remote team company for R&D clean mobility

useful information. But music is annoying.

The music makes it seem like what you have to say is not important enough to listen to on its own … get my point ?

Very informative video on 21 rules on managing remote teams...could have reduced the volume of the music... that was disturbing....anyway it was wonderful

This is really useful, the scheduling and the systems information is really helpful

FFS, turn the music DOWN!

Great tips Liam! Enjoyed those.

Great video but sound could be better!

We have a company that different offices in 4 European countries. I found your tips to be quite on the point and true. Especially the one about work anytime, anywhere but attend the meetings. But the more tricky and important one was meeting each other once a year at someplace. We have these annual summer parties every year where we gather for about 2 days in one country and it's amazing how effective it is. We really get to know each other more and become friends rather than plain co-workers. During the year, when we see some flaws in the other person's work, we automatically try to help and not make a big deal out of it because of the friendship that was established in the summer parties. One thing I can add to help the organization culture is a virtual coffee break every week and a channel (like a WhatsApp group) for everyone to share jokes which adds a bit color to the organization.

16:00 is pure gold.

I like the idea about giving flexible hours, but I also believe that practically speaking, one MUST work the same hours each day to ensure that sleeping and eating habits are consistent. These biological things are unavoidably critical to long term success. So building on what you said, a good balance would be to let them choose their own work schedule, but then make them stick to it. They can take time off, make adjustments, etc. But there should be a high degree of faithfulness to the original schedule they chose. Maybe every quarter or so they can flip it around entirely if it suits them.

Well, this year (2020), the personality type is virtual work is "everyone"....I'm on the extroverted side of introverted, and I'm not struggling persay, I'm coping, but it isn't my favourite.

Cool man, thanks

Managerial skill more useful

We use Asana. I love it but we use the free version which doesn't allow for milestones and overall project management. It charges per person per month. I struggle with overseeing the projects and tasks. Asana is not good for this aspect. As for using a time tracker it would not work for our organization because my team is often multi tasking with phone calls and emails and meetings etc. I also think it affects the morale of employees to track their time.

The good news is I have been doing everything you recommended. I have an issue with your suggestion for idle chat. We use Google hangouts for chat but we limit it to important communication that we need an answer for within the hour.

All that work and no paycheck? What gives?

the music is to loud, please turn off the music.

Very innovative,thanks.

Music too loud. Too much talk over the music in the video. Not enough text summarization slides. Very inefficient use of the audience's time! It’s seems it’s more like entertainment with academic lyrics, as opposed to empowerment and education. Dislike! Sorry!

Who is time doctor???

Everyone can flexibly work whenever they want, outcomes are more important than hours worked ..... but then you say time sheeting is essential to understand each employees outputs vs the hours expended :D little bit contradictory?
