About this listen

“I often talk about the importance of trust when it comes to work: the trust of your employees and building trust with your customers. This book provides a blueprint for how to build and maintain that trust and connection in a digital environment.” —Eric S. Yuan, founder and CEO of Zoom

A Harvard Business School professor and leading expert in virtual and global work provides remote workers and leaders with the best practices necessary to perform at the highest levels in their organizations.

The rapid and unprecedented changes brought on by Covid-19 have accelerated the transition to remote working, requiring the wholesale migration of nearly entire companies to virtual work in just weeks, leaving managers and employees scrambling to adjust. This massive transition has forced companies to rapidly advance their digital footprint, using cloud, storage, cybersecurity, and device tools to accommodate their new remote workforce.

Experiencing the benefits of remote working—including nonexistent commute times, lower operational costs, and a larger pool of global job applicants—many companies, including Twitter and Google, plan to permanently incorporate remote days or give employees the option to work from home full-time. But virtual work has it challenges. Employees feel lost, isolated, out of sync, and out of sight. They want to know how to build trust, maintain connections without in-person interactions, and a proper work/life balance. Managers want to know how to lead virtually, how to keep their teams motivated, what digital tools they’ll need, and how to keep employees productive.

Providing compelling, evidence-based answers to these and other pressing issues, Remote Work Revolution is essential for navigating the enduring challenges teams and managers face. Filled with specific actionable steps and interactive tools, this timely book will help team members deliver results previously out of reach. Following Neeley’s advice, employees will be able to break through routine norms to successfully use remote work to benefit themselves, their groups, and ultimately their organizations.

Great tips for globally distributed teams

Many of our instincts about using communication tools are wrong, Neeley reveals, so her research and advice on this applies to nearly everyone. One of our most common mistakes stems from our attempt to recreate office environments in virtual spaces. For example, some of us have a bad habit of scheduling back-to-back video calls without time to process information between calls, let alone eat lunch. The obvious solution is to schedule break times between calls, but this needs to be modelled by leaders in order to have an impact.

Neeley’s explanation of Lean VS rich communication tools also reveal surprises here. Research shows that email, which is considered a lean communication tool, may be the best way to share bad news prior to a conversation. The format allows employees to absorb the information and think of questions to ask later, when they are face to face or on a video call.
