2. Use video conferencing every day without fail. Something very monkey brain makes a human face you are talking to real, and prevents you flipping the doofus bit on people (and they you)
3. Everyone and everything must be remote-first - business and IT. There is real advantage to walking over and saying hello, shaking peoples hands.
4. Meet up in person and work together (pairing, meetings, clarifications) at least once a week. This basically limits the distance you can all be from each other (roughly two major metro areas apart - London and Paris, NY and Washington)
Ultimately this all costs money. it's cheaper to hire crap people and expensive office space.
YMMV
