A manager of a remote or hybrid team must foster an environment where team members feel connected, supported, and empowered despite physical distance. It's also crucial for managers to prioritize employee well-being, recognizing the blurred lines between work and personal life in remote or hybrid setups. Regular check-ins, feedback sessions, and opportunities for team bonding can help bridge the gap and create a cohesive and productive remote or hybrid team.🤝💪

"...we hire people who work well with high-level direction, and who are comfortable stepping on toes to get things done." Of all the great things said in this article, this one stuck out to me the most. I am a permission-getter, not a forgiveness-asker, so the idea of being encouraged to step on toes to build something is terrifying to me, because most places I've worked in have been low trust environments without good rupture-repair processes in place, leaving wounds untended and festering, which does not engender trust, but the opposite. Creating a culture of trust is hard, whether it's a business, a team or a family. It takes the time, commitment and reflection to build strong relationships with team members. Once that trust is in place, stepping on toes isn't an issue, both because I have permission to do it too, and because a culture of trust will repair the ruptures that are an inevitable part of working together to produce things. Building trust through autonomy and transparency is key to creating a powerful, positive and enjoyable working environment, and it takes dedication to managing relationships just as much as projects.
