Remote Work Revolution

Neeley has researched distributed and global teams for two decades, and organises the book around the questions leaders actually ask about remote working. Chapters cover building trust at a distance, choosing the right digital tool for a given kind of message, running virtual meetings that produce decisions, working across time zones and cultures, and leading a team through a crisis. The material on trust separates the swift trust that lets strangers start working together from the deeper kind built over time, with concrete practices for each. A chapter on global teams deals with the social distance that geography and language create even when the technology works. Written for managers rather than for individuals arranging their own working day.
