Summary
Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson make a case for working outside a shared office while examining the challenges of managing a remote team. They argue that remote work can widen the talent pool, reduce office costs and give workers more choice over where they live and work. The book offers practical suggestions for managers and employees, treating remote work as a way to organize a business rather than simply a change of location.
Why read it Our view
Useful for deciding how your team should work together. Compare the authors’ case with the needs of your product and employees, then consider how hiring, communication and management must change when work happens in different places.
