Agree with those thoughts and would add that especially for things like 1 on 1s, you need to see someone's reaction to questions you ask. For instance, I talk about feedback from a team member for you...are you defensive? are you surpr

All good. As we describe in the post, tone can be easy to read too much into since it lacks visual and audio signs to go off of, so I gave you the benefit of the doubt :)

Well said. Communication is really at the core of most of the issues...it comes from the question un asked or all the little times you would have seen/heard/said something that doesn't happen when remote.

I've seen this work one of two ways: A) If you're already in remote place X then they'll look up salary data on your area and offer to pay that amount or a small premium above it based on your title/experience level. B

Glad you think this is obvious to you. For many, it's not, which is why we wrote the article...so more people see it as clearly as you do.

Millennials is a commonly agreed upon group with a set end point allowing different studies to be an apples to apples comparison. Are 33 year olds "younger people"? Because being born in 1983 is the generally agreed millennial div

Cool. I think we're generally in agreement then. For many (most?), leadership is an unnatural act you have to learn, so it takes time not to shoot from the hip on this stuff. And for anyone, no matter how golden their heart, it's

Maybe you're a special case, but most people are better with some distance to think about the big picture of what they're doing. It's why people like the former Presidents we mentioned waited two days to compose such messages

It seems like what people forget is that whether you have structure or not, it takes effort to make it work well. You can't just throw someone a job title in leadership and assume they'll do a good job. Leadership by example, trai

This is why it's important to talk about what to do in them. Bad managers make them status updates and talk about projects. Good ones get into feedback, coaching, fixing problems, growth and development, etc. Coincidentally, this is wh

This is probably why Netflix gives a "generous severance package" to people that don't work out. Make it easy to remove bad fits, whether it's the manager or employee.

That's the whole point of a 1 on 1 though: to break down miscommunication, talk through situations, give and receive feedback, etc. If you do one on ones well, the trust and rapport you build in the good times will help you get through

That sucks they think that's the case. You definitely don't want your "1 on 1s" to be project and status updates. It's a total waste. Coincidentally, this problem generally contributes to turnover issues, which tend
