About the book
Hybrid and remote teams appear less productive and engaged than in-person one, but that's mostly because managers didn't learn yet how to properly manage them.
If you think about it, as a society, we have over a century of experience managing in-person teams. Most managers know how to do a decent job at it. However, when it comes to remote teams, very few managers have more than a few years of experience, and some not even that. We cannot just expect them to already know how to do a great job. We must teach them.
Luca Dellanna has worked in hybrid or remote teams since 2008, managing groups of up to 40 people. In this book, he draws from his experience both as an employee and as a manager of remote teams to describe a few best practices that can dramatically increase productivity and engagement.
