Best Remote Work Books

Discover the benefits and challenges of the "work from home" trend in Remote, an illuminating new book from bestselling authors Fried and Hansson. Learn why remote work is here to stay and how it can benefit businesses by increasing their talent pool, reducing turnover, and improving the ability to conduct business across multiple time zones. With one in five global workers telecommuting frequently, and nearly ten percent working from home daily, the new paradigm of "move work to the workers, rather than workers to the workplace" is steadily on the rise. Moms in particular will welcome this trend, with 60% wishing they had a flexible work option. In Remote, Fried and Hansson will convince readers that letting all or part of work teams function remotely is a great idea--and they're going to show precisely how a remote work setup can be accomplished.

This book focuses on the challenges of remote leadership and how to overcome them. With a rising number of leaders working from a distance, it's important to understand how to lead effectively without being physically present. Authors Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel cover the 3 O's: Ourselves, Others, and Outcomes, providing practical advice on how to cultivate the right mindset, engage team members from afar, and achieve desired results using technology. This book is a must-read for motivated leaders who want to improve their remote work and team management skills.
