Remote, how? Enhance certain things Employ new things
People with specific traits Independent Communicative Passionate
Onboard them well Trial period Dedicated mentor Constant feedback
Treat them well Pay handsomely Perks (that make sense) Vacations,
holidays, sick days, etc Meaningful work with modern technology “The best idea wins”
Let them shine Trust Their time, their place Promote initiative
and creativity Give plenty of ownership
Asynchronous, always Everything is asynchronous Planning is asynchronous Discussions are
asynchronous Work is asynchronous Tools work asynchronously
None
Synchronous, sometimes Not everything is asynchronous Scheduled in advance Random
chit-chat
Weekly meeting Show last week’s work Plan this week’s work
Discuss any problems Timezones are hard
Monthly one-on-one Personal Ambitions Frustrations
Quarterly OKR Plan for the quarter, top-down Global, shared vision
Quarterly informal Hangout Small groups Highly informal Hobbies, pets, previous
jobs
None
Yearly retreat Remote location Strengthening bonds Collective brainstorms Fun!
None
Find great people Onboard them well, treat them well, let
them shine Make everything asynchronous Be thoughtful about communication, bonding Find leaders that work for their teams
Android 5 people in 5 countries Everything mentioned before Each
developer owns a feature Code reviews: 2 owners! Strict style for code, branching, commits, etc
