If you, like many people across the world, are now working 100% remotely, you might be worried about the loss of physical face to face time with your team members. Remote collaboration tools help us to compensate this loss allowing regular communication throughout the teleworking day. Yet it seems that a high frequency of team communication could actually reduce collective intelligence. Instead of always staying in touch, less communication might boost team problem solving and creativity. Does this mean that we might all benefit from having a little bit more “me time” and a little bit less “team time”?
Do you agree?
