Online Meetings that Matter

Most office advice says hold fewer meetings. For remote teams, Pilar Orti argues the opposite: a healthy rhythm of gathering online is where colleagues can be spontaneous and human together, and where the misunderstandings that build up over email and chat get ironed out. Written for managers of distributed teams and organisations going office optional, her guide covers the many ways a team can meet online, how technology can support the work, and how each person can prepare so the time together counts.

Orti, founder of Virtual Not Distant, draws on years of running online meetings and coaching managers to do the same. The advice is practical and plain, and it nudges you to rethink online collaboration as a whole, not just the agenda. A sensible companion for any manager whose team lives on a screen.
