Rasma, you show clarity of thought, which must be a highly valuable asset when leading a multi-cultural and wide-spread team.

Although Modern technology makes it easier to stay in touch with remote locations, it demands fast reactions and great flexibility from people at the centre of the network. Rasma clearly demonstrates how essential it is to stay fit and alert!

Informative video, good to have supporting comments and evidence from others about the application of Rasma’s tips.
A bit more about the many tools avaialble to support remote working would have been good.
Nice touch to have the globe in the background !!

Good video and some interesting tips — I liked the practical examples you shared. Nice also to hear the comments from others. My only objection would be to the background music, which I found distracting and too much like an ‘infomercial’.

Thank you for all your feedback and encouragement. I take onboard the comments to further explore and explain the tools which support remote working. These indeed deserve their own story. In this video I was focussing more on the “human” elements required to manage and work in remote and global teams. Thanks for your votes!
