The People Principle – Managing Remote Teams

Remote work killed my team’s chemistry. Until I discovered this.

👉 Working from home was supposed to increase productivity. Instead, my client’s team became isolated islands of confusion.

👉 Connection creates performance. Here’s the CARE Framework that transformed their remote culture:

C – Check-ins (not check-ups): Daily 15-minute team connections
A – Appreciation rituals: Weekly peer recognition sessions
R – Real conversations: Monthly one-on-ones about life, not just work
E – Energy management: Respecting boundaries and time zones

The Result:
👍 Team engagement scores jumped 40% and client satisfaction improved by 25% within 8 weeks.

Remote teams don’t need more meetings. They need more meaningful connections.
