And there’s one more thing, I’ve found that building good interpersonal relationships are quite important to having effective discussions with someone. Especially when the topic is controversial. I’ve found this to be a lot harder when two people have never met each other.
How do people work around this?
- lukethomas 7y agoHey, I'm the author of the post and have been working remotely for 6 years. There is no replacement for meeting up in person periodically. Anyone who tells you it's not a key requirement of remote work is foolish. Smart teams + companies have figured this out and do regular meetups. With that being said, there are ways to "maintain" relationships with coworkers. I wrote a big post about this last week you might like: https://www.friday.app/build-relationships-remote-team https://www.friday.app/build-relationships-remote-team
- cdavid 7y agoDid you write anything about remote team management ? The "value proposition" for remote work for IC is obvious to me, but much less so from a management perspective.
- lukethomas 7y agoGood idea - I will write about this shortly. I've written a "how to" post, but it's mediocre.
