Make Some New Year’s Resolutions for Your Remote Teams

Already thinking about and preparing for the new year? Consider setting goals and resolutions for your teams.

Here are some resolutions we think have high value for teams and team members in the coming year:

1.      Communicate more.

• Schedule a metacomm half day with your team.  Communicate about your communication.  What’s going well?  What could go better? What actions build trust?  What communication patterns do you see?
• Set up expectations for regular communication.  Daily for five minutes?  Weekly for …?
• Revisit team purpose.  What does each team member view as the team’s purposes?  Is your team in synch?  
• Share your own strategies for success—large and small, short-term and long-term.

2.      Celebrate the wins of your team members.

3.      Try something new with the team.
