I recently started managing a fully remote team spread across several time zones, and I'm noticing some friction in our communication channels, like misinterpreted tone in Slack messages and meeting invitations sent without regard for others' working hours. I want to establish some basic guidelines for online etiquette to improve collaboration and respect, but I don't want to come across as overly rigid or micromanaging. For other remote team leaders, what are the most effective norms or rules you've implemented? How do you address issues like response time expectations, the appropriate use of different communication tools, and ensuring inclusive participation in virtual meetings without creating a handbook that no one reads?
