In the past, carrying out more or less complex daily **activities** with employees working remotely all over the globe would have been a losing battle for most companies, especially if they are not used to working with smart methods. As **technology** has evolved and the business world has embraced the conversion to digital, remote workers have become more and more. But effective tools are not enough to lead a team towards **success** and productivity: you need leadership that is effective and empathetic. To get the best performance from remote **employees**, as the boss of the business, you will need to understand the differences involved in working remotely and find ways to meet the needs of your team members. By taking advantage of a few tips, you can lead your team towards shared success. For those who work remotely, the **working** day has a very different look, feel and rhythm than those found in a traditional office environment. The workload might be the same, but the stimuli are different. Employees who work remotely can enjoy certain conditions that their colleagues, constrained by having to go to the office, look upon with envy. Working remotely allows you to have fewer distractions from colleagues, more flexible hours, the comfort and **convenience** of dressing informally or working from a comfortable chair. But this is not the only reality. Those who work from home are subject to other potential **distractions**, such as family, pets, or unexpected visitors. Furthermore, one of the problems that a good leader should analyze is the state of mind of the employees. There are those who may find it difficult to feel part of the team, given that distance and connections may not **strengthen** the relationship between colleagues. But how do you make your collaborators feel in tune with the rest of the team? Did you know that there are techniques and tools that can help you do this?   | Quick Links   [-  Set times](https://blog.voxloud.com/en-us/improve-your-leadership-skills-in-5-steps-0#uno) [- Recurring meetings](https://blog.voxloud.com/en-us/improve-your-leadership-skills-in-5-steps-0#d) [- Don't be afraid to communicate](https://blog.voxloud.com/en-us/improve-your-leadership-skills-in-5-steps-0#t) [- Provide the right tools](https://blog.voxloud.com/en-us/improve-your-leadership-skills-in-5-steps-0#q) [- Consider meeting in person](https://blog.voxloud.com/en-us/improve-your-leadership-skills-in-5-steps-0#c)   | | --- |   You know, bad communication also lives in **traditional** offices where teams sharing the same room often fall victim to misunderstandings and communication problems. How many times have you had to explain a message on skype or send another one to better explain an email? So don't be surprised if remote teams struggle to find commonalities that are normally found near coffee machines or on a lunch break. Teams that work remotely can consolidate more effectively when leaders provide clear and consistent guidelines for **communication**. As a leader, here you can find 5 simple tips to help your team **communicate** better: **1-Set times** Set maximum response times for each communication channel, e.g. 24 hours for email, 2 hours for instant messaging etc. **2-Recurring meetings** Set up recurring meeting schedules with both your direct employees and your entire team. This helps promote accountability and clear communication and also increases productivity by keeping everyone in "work mode" while still allowing for work-life balance. For example, you could schedule weekly feedback with those who report directly to you, a separate weekly **meeting** for the team. You can do all this through the voxloud videoconference which allows you to do everything in a few clicks. **3-Don't be afraid to communicate** Without the physical presence of employees or the water dispenser near which to meet, constant **communication** helps everyone feel involved, get to know each other a little better and build trust. Leading your team as if you were a part of it, rather than a distant supervisor, is a hallmark of successful **leadership**. Working together towards common goals and recognizing both the individual needs of each team member will be of great help in creating a true team.   [![centralino in cloud Voxloud](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2664123/b6a38a36-b698-4563-93fe-b60b3987beb1.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2664123/b6a38a36-b698-4563-93fe-b60b3987beb1) **4-Provide the right tools** In addition to the classic tools such as Zoom and Teams for conference calls, cloud technology, for example, is a valid **solution** that allows you to manage teams and projects remotely.
