Managing Remote Teams: How to achieve together, when everyone is working from home

Team dynamics are much more important when remote than when working in-person. Teams want to stay productive, not just grimace, grunt and survive. In turn, managers want to unblock their productivity. And make sure that each person remains motivated. And for sanity's sake, everyone still wants to work. To ship. To hold on to the remaining scraps of our reality from before the pandemic. This book will help you and your team of knowledge workers transition to a remote-only team format. By focusing on systematic re-alignment and patterns from flourishing remote companies. At all levels.

In this book, you will learn:

• Why you need to realign your teams when shifting to remote only • How to track productivity in real-time using an operational heartbeat • How to run successful meetings, ones where you arrive at good decisions quickly • Why obsessing with Gantt charts blinds you to true progress, and what to do instead • Why you can often fix erratic behavior with a structural issue that's hidden in plain sight • Why remote work requires a different work breakdown than what's acceptable in person • Why remote management problems stem from differences of opinion about one specific topic • Why working harder, harder, and harder when going remote becomes a trap • How to reduce the number of meetings everyone attends while increasing team productivity • How to maximize team buy-in to the company's strategy • How to shift your culture to one of greater accountability, respect, and inclusion

Note: this book was originally published with the title Align Remotely.
