There're some difficulties managing a remote team but they don’t diminish the benefits. The main aspect is building strong communication within your team.
In terms of remote work, only one thing matters — work! This is amazing because the ordinary question “What have you done today?” replaces many others such as: “What time did you come?”, “Why are you late?”, “What did you do today?”, and so on. Teamwork becomes result-oriented, not process-oriented.
