Distributed Teams: The Art and Practice of Working Together While Physically Apart
John O’Duinn, author
What if you could have a meaningful, well-paid career without a daily commute to a physical office?
What if your team or organization could work well together even when physically apart?
What if your organization's "work from home" policy was a competitive advantage, while also helping address important social, diversity, urban planning and environmental issues?
If you are working in, joining, or starting a distributed team, this book is for you. This easy-to-read book has short chapters with practical takeaways on topics like:
* Why distributed teams are good for business, diversity, employee retention, society and the environment.
* How to run efficient video calls and meetings while dealing with lots of email and group chat.
* How to handle complex interpersonal topics such as hiring, firing, one-on-ones, reviews, trust and group culture.
Drawn from 26+ years working in distributed organizations, this book gathers what did--and did not--work from my own hard-learned lessons,as well as learnings from company founders, hedge fund managers,software developers, data scientists, accountants, book publishers, economists, political organizers, recruiters, military personnel, executive assistants, therapists and medical technicians.
