"Remote Revolution: Succeeding from Anywhere" by Tsedal Neeley is a book that explores the benefits and challenges of remote work. The book provides insights and practical strategies to help individuals and organizations navigate the shift to remote work and thrive in a virtual environment.
...No area has undergone more rapid transformation than the way we work. Employee expectations are changing, and we will need to define productivity much more broadly - inclusive of collaboration, learning, & wellbeing to drive career advancement for every worker, including frontline and knowledge workers, as well as for new graduates and those who are in the workforce today. All this needs to be done with flexibility in when, where, and how people work." -- Stay Nadella, CEO at Microsoft
The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Neeley discusses the benefits of remote work, such as increased flexibility, reduced commute time, and improved work-life balance. She also addresses the challenges of remote work, such as communication and collaboration issues, and provides strategies to overcome these challenges.
There is a gap in what top leaders and what employees want: 87% of workers feel productive, while only 12% of leaders feel todays work arrangements are as productive as pre-2019. This mismatch is problematic as the values have changed. -- Tsedal Neeley, HBS
The second part of the book focuses on how to effectively manage remote teams. Neeley discusses the importance of clear communication, trust, and empathy in building and maintaining a strong remote team. She also provides insights into how to create a positive team culture and foster collaboration and innovation in a virtual environment.
The third and final part of the book explores the future of work and the role of remote work in shaping it. Neeley discusses the potential for remote work to enable greater diversity and inclusivity in the workforce, as well as the challenges of managing hybrid teams (teams that include both remote and in-person workers).
Overall, "Remote Revolution" provides a comprehensive guide to remote work and its potential to transform the way we work and live. It is a valuable resource for individuals and organizations that are looking to embrace the benefits of remote work and navigate the challenges that come with it.
