In a quest to discover what makes remote teams successful, Google spent the past two years studying over 5,000 employees. They measured well-being, performance, and connectedness (among other things) and came up with recommendations on how to keep things consistent, even if your team is spread out across the globe.

Google especially recommends three things: 1. Get to know your people. 2. Set clear boundaries. 3. Forge connections.

Trust is the foundation upon which the happiest marriages are built, the intangible quality that makes the best teams click. It’s why you’re willing to listen to your hairstylist or interior decorator—and it’s how great companies build exceptional customer loyalty. Trust results when a person demonstrates they are trustworthy. It is a confidence inspired by those who prove they will help, not harm—a belief in the captains who refuse to abandon ship, and the crewmates who stand beside them. Sometimes, it requires going above and beyond. Other times, it’s just finding a way to hang on. But it’s always about showing up. Every promise you deliver upon, every humble act you commit, every word of sincere and specific praise you utter, and every effort to show empathy will contribute to building deep and trusting relationships—like the untold number of delicate brushstrokes that make up a beautiful painting. —Excerpted from my new book: "EQ Applied: The Real-World Guide to Emotional Intelligence." https://amzn.to/2sxFLho #EmotionalIntelligence #leadership #management #PersonalDevelopment #BestAdvice #BusinessIntelligence #careers #culture #EQApplied #MakeEmotionsWorkForYouNotAgainstYou …see more
