Synopsis:

Sensitive to a diversity of cultures, locations, and personalities, this remote facilitation method can make virtual meetings even more powerful than in-person ones.

Many people struggle with remote meetings: a cocktail of factors, such as technical barriers and invisible group norms, increase the uncertainty and risk of the already vulnerable task of collaborating and sharing ideas. When remote meetings go badly, they go really badly. Few things feel as lonely and intimidating as speaking to a screen with unreadable faces staring back in silence. This book will help you improve the quality of your remote meetings. With a little awareness, some planning, and some practice, you can make your remote meetings an effective, engaging, and powerful mechanism for collaboration within your organization. This little guide is chock-full of practical, down-to-earth remote facilitation techniques built to accommodate all cultures and personality types. Apply a few of them judiciously and you'll be surprised to be hearing more from your far-flung employees than you ever heard even from your in-person team.
