Remote. Office Not Required.
Why do we recommend it?
NOW IS THE TIME! This book provides key insight on how to work and build a remote first set-up for your team. A great 101 on how to get started. Even though the book dates back a few years, the Co-Author David Heinemeier Hansson is related as leading remote executive, creator of Ruby on Rails and today founder and CTO of Basecamp. He seems to have understood things very early and perfectly applied them throughout his executive path.
Title: Remote. Office Not Required.
Author: Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson
Pages: 256
For too long our lives have been dominated by the ‘under one roof’ Industrial Revolution model of work. That era is now over. There is no longer a reason for the daily roll call, of the need to be seen with your butt on your seat in the office. The technology to work remotely and to avoid the daily grind of commuting and meetings has finally come of age, and bestselling authors Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson are the masters of making it work at tech company 37signals. Remote working is the future – and it is rushing towards us.
Remote: Office Not Required combines eye-opening ideas with entertaining narrative. It will convince you that working remotely increases productivity and innovation, and it will also teach you how to get it right – whether you are a manager, working solo or one of a team. Chapters include: ‘Talent isn’t bound by the hubs’, ‘It’s the technology, stupid’, ‘When to type, when to talk’, ‘Stop managing the chairs’ and ‘The virtual water cooler’.
Brilliantly simple and refreshingly illuminating this is a call to action to end the tyranny of being shackled to the office.
