Working remotely causes 243 percent more problems than working together in the same location, according to the survey.
“These are pretty striking findings,” Grenny says. “The results weren’t marginally different, but profoundly different.”
Overall, the survey found that problems with remote colleagues were significantly more difficult to solve and lasted longer than with on-site colleagues.
When asked how long a problem they have with someone in the same location will drag on, the majority (54 percent) said “a few days.” When asked the same question in regard to a colleague who is physically distant, the largest response (35 percent) was “a few weeks.”
