Considering our transition to digital communications, more remote work and an accelerated pace of change, it has never been more critical to show respect and appreciation for the people we work with. Here are four easy ways to do this: 1. Read slowly and carefully -- we comprehend less when reading on a screen than we do when reading on paper. 2. Write clearly, be clear and ask clarifying questions if something isn't clear. 3. Recognize everyone who's at a meeting; ask remote attendees to lead parts of the agenda. 4. Make space for introverts, who won't jump in on phone calls or rapid email exchanges. Ask team members to answer two questions by email after calls -- What's the bad news I don't want to hear? and What might we have missed in our last discussion?
