This document provides guidance on how to work effectively as a remote team. It discusses common dysfunctions that can arise such as an absence of trust, fear of conflict, and avoidance of accountability. These dysfunctions stem from hiding weaknesses, being afraid to ask for help, wasting time managing behavior, and assuming others will take responsibility. The document emphasizes establishing trust, having healthy conflicts to grow, sharing ownership, and adopting a system thinking approach where components manage themselves for the good of the overall system. It proposes discussing infrastructure for remote work, cultural differences, delays in information sharing, relationship problems, and micro-management as a case study for effective remote teamwork.
