Book Recommendation: The Power of Remote

Business Book Recommendation: THE POWER OF REMOTE by Cynthia Watson & Shane Spraggs

Just about three years ago I started working from home… and I never want to go back! The company that I work at now is fully remote (YAY!) and the second I saw this book on NetGalley, I jumped at the chance to read it. Part of my responsibilities include some operations duties, and I learned a lot from this book about team building and company growth when everyone’s interacting virtually instead of in-person.

My favorite chapters included…

🏛An introduction which set up the history of remote work

👩🏻‍💻Advice on finding employees that thrive remotely

💬How to socialize long-distance without it sucking your soul

💡Tips on building & sustaining company culture

Aside from the tactical advice, I also really appreciated all of the research and data that the authors  illustrated in this book. I know that working from home has skyrocketed in the last three years. I know that I love this setup. But I didn’t quite grasp the scale and the scope of the shift towards remote work until now!

Not every chapter was super-relevant to my particular industry, but overall I learned a lot from this book and I’m excited to apply some of the learnings to my day-to-day job. Definitely recommend if you also work remotely (or if you have coworkers who do)!

Thank you to Netgalley for the free e-arc of this book.
