When the world shifted to remote work, many Nepali managers panicked. “If they are at home, they must be sleeping!” So they installed tracking software that takes screenshots every 5 minutes.

This is not management. This is surveillance. And it destroys trust.

The “Output over Input” Shift

In an office, you measure “Input” (Arrived at 9 AM, Left at 5 PM). In remote work, you must measure “Output” (Did the landing page get published?).

I don’t care if my designer creates the banner at 10 AM or 10 PM. I only care that:

  1. It catches the eye.
  2. It followed the brief.
  3. It was ready by the deadline.

The Communication Stack

Remote teams die in silence. You need over-communication.

  • Slack/Discord: For “Virtual Office” chatter. Memes are important for culture.
  • Zoom/Meet: For “High Bandwidth” problem solving. If a text chat drags on for 10 minutes, hop on a 5-minute call.
  • Notion/ClickUp: The Source of Truth. If it isn’t written down in the task manager, it doesn’t exist.

The Weekly Sync

We do one “All Hands” call per week.

  • 10 mins: Wins from last week.
  • 10 mins: Blockers (Where are you stuck?).
  • 10 mins: Priorities for this week.
  • 30 mins: Social/Learning (We watch a marketing video together or play a game).

This keeps the human connection alive in a digital world.
