In my experience you can build rapport through video calls. For certain not in meetings with groups, but on 1:1s it's doable. You have to be conscious about it

In my experience you can build rapport through video calls. For certain not in meetings with groups, but on 1:1s it's doable. You have to be conscious about it and put more effort. But it's not impossible. In fact, for me it's easier because it's not by chance, I can put myself in the right mindset to have meaningful conversations rather than bumping into random people when solving a problem in my mind.
I do agree it's a lot of responsibility, but life changes that way. Horse breeders didn't ask for the Model T and so on...
- BlueTemplar 4y agoFunny that you would take this example since personal cars (as we know them since the Model T) are likely to become restricted to rich people in a few decades... (Though I doubt horses would come back to replace a significant fraction of them.)
- koide 4y agoAnd if that came to happen it only strengthens my argument, as I'm sure car manufacturers aren't asking for that change either. Life changes and there are a set of people affected negatively by those changes. Those people never ask for those changes. They happen anyway.
