"Eikenberry and Turmel (The Long-Distance Leader: Rules for
Remarkable Remote Leadership), cofounders of the Remote
Leadership Institute, return with a timely overview on how to make
remote work both productive and meaningful. Writing that the 'trend
toward remote work is undeniable, ' the authors aim to 'relieve the
stress and frustrations that come from remote working
arrangements.' Eikenberry and Turmel focus on three concepts they
persuasively contend 'are critical to successful, satisfying remote
work' being a good teammate, staying connected to colleagues, and
remaining engaged by work. Their guidance is centered on
communication and preventing work from devolving into a solo
enterprise; remote workers are encouraged to be proactive in
reaching out to supervisors and fellow employees rather than
passively awaiting feedback or more work. Each chapter ends with
reflection questions, such as 'What morning routines serve you
well?' and 'What frustrates you about working with others now?'
Full of concrete, real-world examples, this guide is written with
both understanding and encouragement--'Maybe you're already feeling
this. Some days you feel isolated and alone, ' they offer. With so
many office jobs now being done at home, this couldn't have arrived
at a better time."
