“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.”
