Less Miscommunication = Greater Successes! Communicating effectively is one of the biggest tricks to managing a successful remote team. When you can’t directly look at someone to talk through a project, goal or idea, you must be clear with your direction.

In the last 2 years at @Dribbble we've grown the team from 8 remote employees to 47. From this experiment I've seen career high product output, employee retention, job satisfaction and happiness. We have no commute, flexible work, and more time to spend with friends and family.

Do you watch something when you work from home? Many of us like to listen to music, podcasts or have a movie playing in the background… but that squirrel documentary must have been a bit too captivating 🐿😅 remotestories.com/stories/31…

I've found going for a walk at the end of the day helps me switch off "work" mode. I do this most days. I go 1-2 miles + listen to a non-tech related podcast.

Over the last six months, I've been seeing a noticeable increase in seed-stage companies with fully or partially distributed teams. More teams are trying to hedge against limited supply of talent and rising costs in cities like SF, NYC, LA. Feels like a real trend.

Working remotely means I can drive my grandpa to the doctor in the morning and catch up with work whenever I can.

How do you know if Remote workers are actually working? You don't. You have to trust them. If that feels scary, remote may not be the best fit for you.

Reminder for "classical" management trying to retain talent: - "Can I work remotely?" - "No" - "Can I work remotely?" - "No" - "Can I work remotely?" - "No" - "Can I work remotely?" - "No" Quits and works for another company... remotely. #truestory
