Struggling With Remote Team
How to successfully lead team members when they’re all remote? My team’s in 4 countries and lately Zoom calls feel dead. Last week I sent a motivational message and got zero replies. Felt awful. What do you do to keep everyone connected and actually engaged?

I’ve been there. A few years ago I managed a remote team spread across three countries, and one week I posted what I thought was an inspiring message in our chat. Total silence. Turns out people weren’t disengaged - they were overloaded. What helped was replacing some status meetings with short, informal check-ins and giving people space to share non-work updates. Engagement went up fast. I also found some useful leadership ideas and remote team communication resources here: Richard Warke Vancouver . Small personal connections often do more than big motivational speeches when everyone’s remote.
