0:00 - Introduction to How to Motivate a Remote Team in 2021

0:23 - Tip #1: This will benefit not only your team but also your business

It's hard enough to manage people when you are working in person and it becomes even harder when you are in a remote world. It's really important for you to outline what the expectations are for your team on a weekly, biweekly, and monthly basis.

It's only by having everybody on the same page in terms of what is due and when that the organization is going to be able to work collaboratively together.

1:13 - Tip #2: How to keep your remote team happy

You probably invest a ton of resources and effort towards making sure that your customers are happy and you should do the same thing with your team.

One of the best things that my current CEO does is she dessert bomb people that do great work for the company.

So for example, a few months ago, we had a product launch that I took the point on in terms of doing all the marketing efforts and it was a really successful launch. I was pleasantly surprised to find a DoorDash dropped that Friday with a half dozen cupcakes to thank me for my work and a note from my CEO.

2:11 - Tip #3: Incorporate this into your remote team

In both the company that I co-founded, as well as the company I'm with now, this is an action that we do every single quarter.

We have a retrospective at the very end of our quarters in which we recap what went well, what didn't go so well, as well as what we want to improve towards the future.

This regular reflection, especially in a remote world allows you to hold everybody accountable to the outcomes that you guys are trying to achieve together.

When it comes to our quarterly reflections, we'll often think about the different parts of the business. For example, how we're doing in customer success, how we're doing in our sales process, as well as our pricing and monetization.

4:08 - Tip #4: How to have fun in a remote work environment

Something my old company did really well was we had these events on a regular basis in which you could hang out with other people across different teams in a remote setting.

We would have things like virtual game nights, or we might have things in which we were doing cocktails together and the different activities that we might be able to do in these sorts of small group environments.

The reason why we did this was because if you've ever worked remotely, you know how hard it can be just to actually take breaks throughout the day.

5:36 - Tip #5: Go over these four things

Something that my current company does at every single all-hands is we carve out 20 to 30 minutes to go over these four things.

This is just an opportunity for every single person on the team to share some of the good things, bad things, as well as give thanks for other team members and the great work that they're doing.

We as human beings often need two things:

1. We need to feel like we're connected and working towards something bigger than ourselves.
2. We also have to feel like we are being recognized and doing good work in whatever it is we're deciding to invest our time in.
