Über dieses Buch

Many organizations are shifting to a remote workforce in order to be competitive and many more are built as remote-first outfits. The sudden global experiment brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has proven that remote teams are in fact possible and widely effective across industries when done right. Remotely Possible addresses the challenges and opportunities that remote teams face, starting with the current landscape and looking forward to the future of remote working.

Author Shawn Belling insightfully addresses what leaders must do to effectively lead a remote team, whether it is in a remote-first organization or in an organization trying the concept for the first time. There are long-term strategies you can adapt to your own organization, and Remotely Possible explores these in addition to the benefits that come with broad acceptance of remote workforces. Globally distributed teams are more common than ever, and with the correct approach and digital plan, yours can take an organization to the next level.

Belling acknowledges the challenges that come with changes to a team’s work culture, communication tools, and foundations of trust in an all-digital, remote workplace. Adaptation is key and Remotely Possible gives you all the practical, real-world lessons you need to tackle these major changes head-on. Remote work is here to stay.

What You Will LearnWork with the various permutations of remote and distributed teams including globally distributed teams Discover the evolving preference of teams as an engine for getting work done regardless of the industry or organizational typeSee the challenges that remote teams face with communications, culture, rapport and trust, and coordination as well as techniques for overcoming these challenges

Who This Book Is ForLeaders, managers, and team members of remote/distributed teams as well as those who are evaluating the extended/continued use of remote work and teams beyond the end of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Chapter 1. Lessons from a Pandemic
Remote Work Works
Abstract
In 1918, World War I was coming to an end. A global pandemic that no one alive today remembers was also ravaging the world, accelerated by returning soldiers and resumption of commerce that had been impacted by the war years. Much like the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, the Spanish Flu pandemic took a heavy toll of lives and had a tremendous impact on societies around the world as people and institutions struggled to cope with the effects and long-term outcomes.

Chapter 2. Things We Knew
Location Matters
Abstract
Bill Loumpouridis came out of the .com bust of the early 2000s with a couple of key goals: find work to earn a living and build a new kind of technology consulting company. Bill had departed one of the largest of the Chicago-area boutique web development firms prior to one of the largest implosions of that era and was determined not to repeat the mistakes that he had seen there both in terms of the business model as well as hiring and working with people and teams.

Chapter 3. What Will Change
What Will Grow
Abstract
One of the biggest changes that has happened and will continue to evolve in remote and distributed work environments is a change in styles and approaches to leadership and how leaders see themselves and their teams.

Chapter 4. Leading Virtual/Remote Teams and Organizations
Abstract
Remote and virtual scenarios are the last place that micro-management has any chance of working. In these scenarios, absence of trust is nothing short of destructive. In this chapter we’ll discuss key elements of organizational leadership in the contexts of remote and virtual scenarios.

Chapter 5. Psycho Workplace generations logy of Remote Teams
Trust, People, and Connections
Abstract
Trust is a most valuable currency within any organization, and in remote and distributed organizations, where coworkers and team members do not regularly interact face-to-face and may be geographically separated most or all of the time, it is crucial to success. In Chapter 4 we discussed the importance of hiring for trust. Now, we’re going to focus on how to build trust in remote scenarios. Going forward, everything I’ll cover assumes that you have hired with two-way trust in mind and are committed to developing and maintaining a culture of trust and accountability within your remote distributed organization.

Chapter 6. Practices and Tools
Practices and Tools Support People
Abstract
Let’s assume your unbridled success getting the people elements of remote and distributed scenarios right (and you will). Let’s also assume the likely case that your organization will opt for a hybrid of remote distributed and on-site environment. The success of your remote and distributed model will depend on the processes, practices, and tools you adopt and evolve.

Chapter 7. Remotely Successful
Success Is Self-Perpetuating
Abstract
Technology and the global economy have been two primary drivers of the expanding prevalence of remote work and distributed organizations. As these types of organizational and work models continue to demonstrate success, technology has enabled and also been driven by these models and successes.

Chapter 8. Remote Arguments
For and Against Remote Possibilities
Abstract
At no point do I assume or recommend that remote work scenarios are perfect or even a fit for every organization or type of work. There are simply some types of work where you just have to be physically present to perform the job – this book assumes this is the case. More critically and germane to the points and perspectives in this book – from a culture and leadership perspective, there are some organizations that, for any number of reasons, are not suited to or would not find remote and distributed work scenarios appropriate.

Chapter 9. Epilogue
Abstract
As I completed the final manuscript for this book in February and March of 2021, the possibility of returning to physical offices became an essential topic of discussion and media attention as the Covid-19 vaccine began to be widely distributed and the iron grip of the pandemic subsided. To generate the clicks, eyeballs, and traffic that lead to add revenue and more data to harvest, some content creators and media channels stoked fear, uncertainty, and doubt regarding remote work and hybrid work.
