I'm saving this to reread again later. Thank you. Also some comments. I have managed remote workers, and am current a new remote worker myself. As a manager (of managers), I think the one on one meetings are the meetings not to skip. Certain not more than once. These are times to check in and get a sense of how people feel. To listen and to support often people just want to complain, or want to hear some praise. I insist on video for these meetings. As a manager I am interuptable, if my teams needs me I want to be available. As a manager I try not to interrupt my teams. Just because a question popped into my head, asking in chat will interrupt others, possibly many other, because I have role power and influence. I like the concept of evergreen comms, but that's a hard reality to realise. Probably easier in small organisation, but in a big enterprise you will still have email, people create price chat rooms, people call each other and are not going to capture the content. Vendors and partners will use different tools. Personally I have WebEx, Zoom, Teams and Google something. I don't have much choice. Anyway, good job.
