Remote Works

Managing for Freedom, Flexibility, and Focus

By: Ali Greene, Tamara Sanderson

Narrated by: Natalie Hoyt

The future of work is here. You can no longer survive by copying and pasting old office techniques into a digital environment; it’s exhausting, unproductive, and unsuccessful. There is a better way! Are you ready to rethink everything you know about how remote works?

Drawing on their years of experience working at remote companies DuckDuckGo and Automattic, plus dozens of interviews with leading experts, Ali Greene and Tamara Sanderson have written the ultimate playbook for managing remote teams.

This book addresses challenges such as communicating effectively (with fewer meetings!), eliminating frustration over what tools to use, establishing team norms, and focusing on getting things done. You will learn how to work best remotely and create a workplace designed for freedom, flexibility, and focus.

For decades, we’ve planned our lives around our work. Now it’s time to intentionally design work to fit our lives.

I’m learning to be a better remote manager, and this didn’t bore me!

This was recommended by a friend for its tried-and-true tactics, splashed with humor, for employee engagement and retention while shifting to PT (and eventual FT) remote work.

The examples are thoughtful, clever jokes are strewn throughout, and the authors credible.

So far the tactics I’ve implemented have been successful. Feedback from my team is great. I’m buying a hard copy to use as my Work Bible.

True pros

Wow very impressive in terms of content and performance. I learned a lot about managing remote teams and truly enjoyed listening to this one. The authors are well respected in their field and they deliver the message in an incredibly engaging way. Highly recommended.

Excellent book!

Perfect read for personal and team productivity. I will be using tips from this book now and for years to come, even though I am not working remotely
