Learn success secrets from original remote work pioneers on the
mindset and strategies they developed to build and grow successful
organizations from the ground up.
With the unprecedented rise in remote work due to the pandemic, many
businesses have struggled with how to effectively transition to a
distributed format. Meanwhile, companies who had always been
remote-first had a unique advantage: a highly scalable set of work
processes, a unique communication style, and the proper "async mindset"
required to succeed without an office.
This groundbreaking guide unlocks the secrets and the lessons discovered
by those pioneer entrepreneurs and founders who have figured out how to
harness the async mindset and grow their businesses remotely in the most
the seamless, freeing, and cost-effective ways.
Once you accept and master some fundamental differences, remote work can
fuel higher productivity, eliminate time-wasting meetings and
treacherous commutes, and strip away the ugly politics that often
undermine the most talented employees. It also leads to great cultural
inclusivity and richer cultural exchange.
Running Remote is for ventures of all stripes--companies small and
large, one-person operations, mom-and-pop shops, and global
mega-corporations. The lessons herein are as valuable for on-premises
organizations as they are for the tech worker.

overarching principles--deliberate overcommunication, democratized
workflow, and detailed metrics.

trailblazers who built successful all-remote organizations prior to
the pandemic.
