For example, when there\u2019s a pandemic, or when more and more people are starting to work from home?

Move calls and messaging to video by default.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great way for any extrovert to stay connected and engaged with colleagues during the day is to switch all your audio or voice-only calls to video calls. This way, you\u2019re taking advantage of every non-face-time conversation and turning it into an opportunity for face-to-face interaction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3324\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3324\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3324 size-large\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image1-66-1024x672.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"551\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3324\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RingCentral Video<\/a> lets you turn voice calls into video meetings just by hitting the video camera icon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only caveat for this is that not every colleague\u2014especially if they\u2019re less extroverted\u2014is going to appreciate having to turn their webcam on. If they aren\u2019t having it, you could switch to phone, but see if you can get them to agree to at least one video call per week, thereby helping them build their video call skills and confidence while helping you get the social interaction you need.<\/span><br \/>\n<a name=\"Set aside time to brainstorm and talk through ideas with your team.\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 30px;\">2. Set aside time to brainstorm and talk through ideas with your team.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we mentioned earlier, extroverts tend to think much better on their feet and when they\u2019re interacting with others (unlike introverts, who think much better alone in quiet rooms). Because of this, it\u2019s a good idea to set aside time each week to brainstorm with your team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/remote-work-playbook.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3525\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/490719603-WFH-Remote-Work-Playbook-banner-image-1380x490-blog-1024x364-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"299\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you\u2019re specific about the goals and mission of each brainstorming session and try to be a good mediator by getting as many people to participate as you can.

Find your fellow extroverts and make a point of connecting regularly.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one\u2019s arguably a combination of numbers 1 and 2, but the addition here is that you\u2019re making a point to connect with other extroverted colleagues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even extremely extroverted people are sometimes shy about taking the initiative (or they just don\u2019t have time) to suggest a new get-together or invite others to talk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re noticing this, try to bring people\u2014especially the extroverts on your team\u2014together and provide that much-needed dose of daily connection and engagement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll be seen as a leader (and you\u2019ll be doing your extroverted colleagues a huge favor).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[ebook-download title=&#8221;Learn more about managing your finances as a remote team&#8221; src=&#8221;&#8221; link=&#8221;\u200bhttps:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/remote-work-finance-playbook.html\u200b&#8221;] <\/span><br \/>\n<a name=\"Look for ways of connecting with colleagues outside of work-related tasks.\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 30px;\">4.
