More organizations are starting to adopt a remote work culture. But how do managers stay in sync with what their teams are doing when they can’t see them? While it’s important to define clear goals early on, you should let remote teams decide on the best paths to reach those goals. Rather than dictating each specific task, give them a vision to work on. Let them hold each other accountable, and ask them to assign themselves daily goals and provide weekly reports. This level of responsibility helps remote workers learn on the job and stay motivated. But you should still hold specific people accountable for ensuring that tasks are completed on time. To track progress, use project management tools like Asana, Basecamp, or JIRA, and take time every week to have a candid conversation about the team’s performance.
