    The background music made this almost unlistenable. Almost like it was two different songs at the same time?

    Very informative! 100% agree! What that doesn't get measured, doesn't get managed. And if you don't meet people on a set time and rhythm, people can easily get distracted and tasks often don't get done effectively.

    Your editor made the music too loud. The music needs to be in the background, but it is too punchy.

    Numbering wasn't in sequence and there weren't 21 rules – many missing – I guess you were checking whether everyone is paying attention. Anyways, good info.πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘

    These were helpful tips, but I had to exit the video halfway due to the background audio being too distracting. Hopefully other videos of yours have a lower volume for the background noise!

    Where is the indexing with timestamps linking to the chapters in the video? Like Below
    0:00 INTRO
    0:20 COMPENSATE FOR IN PERSON INTERACTION
    1:25 CONSTANT VIRTUAL CHATROOM

    FEEDBACK… The music is louder than you are. next time it should be a more faint background if necessary.

    Question. If a group of people working for a company are remote and they have individual projects, rather than the shared projects envisioned by scrums etc, what makes them a team and gives them a sense of a shared culture and belonging? Real question honestly. Post pandemic my team of staff will really only have me, their line manager, in common as they will be primarily home based. We will only need to come together for team meeting type discussions about processes and other changes affecting us individually equally. They can give each other ideas and advice on their own work but they don't actively collaborate. I'd like to support them to have a shared sense of being. Currently all YouTube videos I've seen are on collaborating teams, would be great to hear more on this different kind of remote setup. Thanks.

    Hi also if you are experiencing the overwhelming aspect of managing meeting, you could checkout Teemly, it's a saas solution that incorporates team meeting management, booking, and more. Would love to hear some feedback on this as I'm also a developer working on it πŸ™‚
