One on one
General Description
Team members need to deeply know each other in order to build trustful links that will allow them to take further risks. It is necessary to practice empathy and realize that there is a lot to know about each individual besides the work environment.
One familiar feeling in remote teams is the feeling of loneliness because everybody has their reality at home, and it is easy to disconnect from the team dynamics. Moreover, groups are forced to work remotely and miss face-to-face interactions. For that reason, it is important to include one to one sessions on the agenda!
