By Monday, November 22, 2010 0 No tags Permalink 0

3. Do not agree to meetings or calls with no clear agenda or end time

4. Do not let people ramble—forget “how’s it going?” and embrace “what’s up?”

5. Do not check e-mail constantly—“batch” and check at set times only

6. Do not over-communicate with low-profit, high-maintenance customers

7. Do not work more to fix overwhelm—prioritize

8. Do not carry a cellphone or iPhone 24/7, seven days a week—make evenings and/or Saturdays digital leash-free.

9. Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should

10. Don’t sign up for eStudio

Managing Multiple Locations By Using Cloud Software

Follow these 4 tips for better extra-office communication between your office-based staff and other office locations.

1. Schedule weekly web meetings for your various working groups to keep everyone on the same page.

2. Use those web cams so your group members can see each other.

3. Don’t assign tasks randomly to your associates. Use project management software to organize routine tasks within a central project. The more automated your processes are the more harmonious

4. Have the management visit each remote location on a regular basis. Not possible- have the boss hold a quarterly web meeting with each location. Clear the air by using cloud software.
