Summary
“I often talk about the importance of trust when it comes to work: the trust of your employees and building trust with your customers。 This book provides a blueprint for how to build and maintain that trust and connection in a digital environment。” —Eric S。 Yuan， founder and CEO of Zoom
A Harvard Business School professor and leading expert in virtual and global work provides remote workers and leaders with the best practices necessary to perform at the highest levels in their organizations。
The rapid and unprecedented changes brought on by Covid-19 have accelerated the transition to remote working， requiring the wholesale migration of nearly entire companies to virtual work in just weeks， leaving managers and employees scrambling to adjust。 This massive transition has forced companies to rapidly advance their digital footprint， using cloud， storage， cybersecurity， and device tools to accommodate their new remote workforce。
Experiencing the benefits of remote working—including nonexistent commute times， lower operational costs， and a larger pool of global job applicants—many companies， including Twitter and Google， plan to permanently incorporate remote days or give employees the option to work from home full-time。 But virtual work has it challenges。 Employees feel lost， isolated， out of sync， and out of sight。 They want to know how to build trust， maintain connections without in-person interactions， and a proper work/life balance。 Managers want to know how to lead virtually， how to keep their teams motivated， what digital tools they’ll need， and how to keep employees productive。
Providing compelling， evidence-based answers to these and other pressing issues， Remote Work Revolution is essential for navigating the enduring challenges teams and managers face。 Filled with specific actionable steps and interactive tools， this timely book will help team members deliver results previously out of reach。 Following Neeley’s advice， employees will be able to break through routine norms to successfully use remote work to benefit themselves， their groups， and ultimately their organizations。

In the last ten days， I read a book called "Remote Work Revolution: Succeeding from Anywhere。" It's a newly published book by Tsedal Neeley， a professor at Harvard Business School。 The book is like advice from the expert and a blueprint for succeeding in remote work with specific， actionable steps to success for both leaders and employees based on similar stories， insights， and examples about two main topics; Productivity and Trust。4 things that stayed with me:1- Team alignment is not synonymous In the last ten days， I read a book called "Remote Work Revolution: Succeeding from Anywhere。" It's a newly published book by Tsedal Neeley， a professor at Harvard Business School。 The book is like advice from the expert and a blueprint for succeeding in remote work with specific， actionable steps to success for both leaders and employees based on similar stories， insights， and examples about two main topics; Productivity and Trust。4 things that stayed with me:1- Team alignment is not synonymous with agreement。 In fact， disagreement—often miscast as the enemy to cooperation—is a crucial part of refining ideas， identifying mistakes， and growing as a collective unit。 2- Cross-national teams need to take into account cultural and language differences。 Preferences for synchronous or asynchronous communication differ by culture and common language competence。3- The mutual knowledge problem is the fact that in the absence of us sharing the same place; we lose contextual information that helps inform what's going on with us。4- Remote workers crave predictability。 Leaders can support this by providing clear， consistent， and direct communication about job descriptions and responsibilities。 Throughout my reading of this book， I remembered the first week of WFH and the first month of Careem being a remote-first company！ It was very awesome to realize that most of the best practices in this book we are already have adopted here at work， yet I realized the efforts and dedication that the People team made to make this happen。 。。。more

In line with what you might expect from a HBS book， there's nothing earth shatteringly new in here， especially if you've worked in a remote environment （as many have recently）， though it provides a nice summary of best practices。 I enjoyed the last few chapters on remote leadership and international remote teams， as they provided insights beyond the more common sense lessons of the first few chapters。 I also appreciate the action guide activities at the end of each chapter， though I haven't trie In line with what you might expect from a HBS book， there's nothing earth shatteringly new in here， especially if you've worked in a remote environment （as many have recently）， though it provides a nice summary of best practices。 I enjoyed the last few chapters on remote leadership and international remote teams， as they provided insights beyond the more common sense lessons of the first few chapters。 I also appreciate the action guide activities at the end of each chapter， though I haven't tried them all yet。I would have liked to hear more about what the author believes will happen to remote cultures after the pandemic， and how will hybrid remote and in-person environments work well。 A decent read for anyone new to remote work or new remote managers， though this would have been far more helpful to read back in March 2020。 。。。more

Although this is a pretty analysis of the challenges of remote work， Neeley doesn't offer much in the solutions department， rather just showing examples sometimes ending in no fix。 Although this is a pretty analysis of the challenges of remote work， Neeley doesn't offer much in the solutions department， rather just showing examples sometimes ending in no fix。 。。。more

Much-needed， timely insights for remote teams everywhere。 Neeley's recommendations MIGHT seem like common sense， but I’ve personally experienced every challenge she mentions， and it’s often the result of good intentions combined with faulty assumptions。 Leaders and employees both have to re-evaluate their actions and deliberately practice more effective communication， but that isn’t intuitive。 Perhaps the most important takeaway from this book is that conflict and disagreement are essential to b Much-needed， timely insights for remote teams everywhere。 Neeley's recommendations MIGHT seem like common sense， but I’ve personally experienced every challenge she mentions， and it’s often the result of good intentions combined with faulty assumptions。 Leaders and employees both have to re-evaluate their actions and deliberately practice more effective communication， but that isn’t intuitive。 Perhaps the most important takeaway from this book is that conflict and disagreement are essential to building successful teams， as long as communication remains respectful。 Teams who avoid conflict may initially appear successful， but they’re destined to fail。 Working in a remote or globally distributed team means you can’t lean on face to face interaction。 You truly need to understand the nuances of communication styles and tools so you can disagree productively and work towards solutions， rather than merely avoiding conflict。 Listen to my complete review here: https://podcast。jannastam。com/episode。。。 。。。more

I have been following Professor Neeley's work for years and so I am so grateful that she has brought the work into book form。 Her recommendations are both evidence-based and reality-based。 This book meets the moment and is a must read for anyone in a remote work context。 I have been following Professor Neeley's work for years and so I am so grateful that she has brought the work into book form。 Her recommendations are both evidence-based and reality-based。 This book meets the moment and is a must read for anyone in a remote work context。 。。。more
