I absolutely love the team chat guide, shared via linkedin :)

I specifically enjoyed how you highlighted the drawbacks of always on immediate communication and strategies for moving past those obstacles.

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. The Stride team did an amazing job.

Oh and you're from Sacramento - I used to live there. It's my favorite city. 

[Meg Holbrook]

Pretty great city for a little town, right? Lived here all my life :)

The team chat guide was great! One thing some of our teams struggle with is the "always avaiable" issue.  I have encouraged my teams to make boundaries aware, especially through Rules of Engagement :)

We realized that was an issue and wrote this blog to get people thinking about crafting their own guidelines or "Rules of Engagement." https://www.stride.com/blog/how-to-craft-chat-guidelines-for-your-team

Chat communication changes forms and effects of communication comprehensively. subtleties in the effect of communication are often underestimated. It's about the strength of the weak relationship, in sociological terms. It's an interesting article. Thanks.
