The four mistakes, from the article:

1. Using Too Many Online Tools – thats should be obvious, because this cuts down costs, maintenance and friction.
2. Instituting Mandatory Meetings – Don’t replace meetings with Zoom calls. Use async ways to communicate instead.
3. Not Being Explicit About Expectations  – Create agreements about how decisions are made and what it means for a task to be done.
4. Depending On Real-Time Conversations – Use async tools like. Email, Slack , RfC, etc. and don’t expect people to answer in minutes.

Working from home doesn’t have to be a copy cat of your office set up. Open yourself up to new possibilities of getting things done, working together and creating culture.

2. create as much clarity and coherence about what needs to get done and why?
3. personally model the behavior I want to be true across my team?
4. see things for what they are, instead of what I want them to be?
