Have you experienced the miscommunication and frustration that come from a lack of face-to-face meetings, different languages and cultures, and varied time zones?<\/p>\n<p>I first learned how to work effectively with remote colleagues during my corporate days and now I use these techniques and more every day with our small, global Team Sasuga!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what our virtual meetings look like today\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In this shot, Kumiko and I are in different parts of Tokyo, Yumi is in Seoul, and Kat is in Manila.<\/p>\n<p>You can see that we\u2019re all happy!<\/p>\n<p>Here are 3 top tips that keep us happy and productive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>1. Be prepared<b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>I always recommend being prepared for any meeting to get better results, be efficient, and reduce stress and frustration.<\/p>\n<p>This is even more important when communicating remotely &#8211; on telephone or video conference calls &#8211; because it&#8217;s more difficult to keep people focused than in an in-person meeting.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be clear on the meeting goals and on your own goals<\/li>\n<li>Know your role in the meeting &#8211; what will you contribute?<\/li>\n<li>Note key points that you want to convey to your colleagues<\/li>\n<li>Prepare questions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>2. Ask how the team can help each person<\/h4>\n<p>How comfortable are you in asking for help in your work? Many people aren\u2019t. I wasn\u2019t for a long time because I thought I should be able to do everything myself. That meant that I didn&#8217;t always get the best results and I felt a lot of stress.<\/p>\n<p>You can solve this problem by having everyone on a remote team say how the team can help them.<\/p>\n<p>People might ask for help with a specific task or in how to work best together. For example,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve drafted the report, but am not sure that the examples I gave in section two are convincing enough. I&#8217;d appreciate any ideas to improve it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because I have a lot of meetings, it&#8217;s often difficult for me to answer the phone and I limit the times I look at email, so it would help me if you could notify me by our company chat if you need something urgently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, when I was drafting this blog post, I wasn&#8217;t happy with my original version, so I asked my team for ideas, and really appreciated their input.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>3. Take time to build relationships<\/h4>\n<p>Sometimes timing in business is tight. We need to get things done fast. But if we send short, sharp email instructions, our colleagues can easily read them imagining a terse tone of voice and get upset or offended. Then they\u2019re not so cooperative.<\/p>\n<p>However, if we take the time to build relationships and understand how others like to communicate and work, we can then be brief and efficient when we have urgent work.<\/p>\n<p>One way to start doing this is to have a few minutes to check how everyone is at the beginning of a call &#8211; and really listen to the responses. When creating a new team, it&#8217;s also useful to schedule a &#8220;getting-to-know-you call,&#8221; so that you can understand each others&#8217; communication and work preferences and what&#8217;s important to them.<\/p>\n<p>Do these three tips sound simple? They are! Now ask yourself if you&#8217;re really using them all. Maybe not?<\/p>\n<p>What can you do differently on your next call with your overseas colleagues?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u6d77\u5916\u306b\u3044\u308b\u30c1\u30fc\u30e0\u30e1\u30f3\u30d0\u30fc\u3068\u3001\u96fb\u8a71\u3084\u30d3\u30c7\u30aa\u4f1a\u8b70\u3067\u30b3\u30df\u30e5\u30cb\u30b1\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u3092\u53d6\u308b\u3053\u3068\u306b\u62b5\u6297\u304c\u3042\u308b\u3068\u8a00\u3063\u305f\u58f0\u3092\u3088\u304f\u8033\u306b\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002\u30b3\u30df\u30e5\u30cb\u30b1\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u3092\u5186\u6ed1\u306b\u9032\u3081\u308b\u306b\u306f\u3069\u3046\u3059\u308c\u3070\u3088\u3044\u304b\u3002\u30c1\u30fc\u30e0\u3055\u3059\u304c\uff01\u3067\u5b9f\u8df5\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u201dTips\u201d\u3092\u3054\u7d39\u4ecb\u3055\u305b\u3066\u3044\u305f\u3060\u304d\u307e\u3059\u3002\u8a18\u4e8b\u306f\u82f1\u8a9e\u3067\u3059\u3002\u305c\u3072\u6b21\u56de\u306e\u30df\u30fc\u30c6\u30a3\u30f3\u30b0\u304b\u3089\u5b9f\u8df5\u3057\u3066\u307f\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\uff01 &nbsp; Do you work with colleagues in multiple locations?
