" Leading from Anywhere is the best book on remote work I've ever read—incisive, original, and eminently practical. Read it—and take notes!" —Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and To Sell Is Human The ultimate guide to leading remote teams, tackling the key challenges that managers face—from hiring and onboarding new members from afar to building culture remotely, tracking productivity, communicating speedily, and avoiding burnout It's undeniable that we're entering a new era of remote work. While many leaders seek to run business as usual, why settle for the usual when remote teams allow us to work even better? The research shows that employees are more productive and engaged when they have the freedom to work from anywhere. Which means leaders need the skills to lead from anywhere. In this meticulously researched, refreshingly practical book, top business thought leader David Burkus provides managers with the field guide to leading remotely, packed with everyday examples and illuminating insights. Structured around the life cycle of working on a team, Burkus tackles the key inflection points and challenges that remote managers face, from taking the team remote and adding new members to communicating effectively and quickly, managing performance, keeping the team engaged, and even helping them strike the right balance between work and life. Leading from Anywhere provides everything you'll need to survive and thrive as the leader of a remote team—something all leaders will need to consider themselves from now on.
