I read this for my work book club. Some of the content was common sense, some of it was familiar from other seminars and training, and a good bit was new to me with ideas I will keep in mind moving forward in our new virtual environment at work.
Ironically picked up this book in an airport and I was about to board a plane to another state where part of my distributed teams works. The title drew me in and a review of the page with the “rules” compelled me to buy it. The content hits on common sense reminders of need for communication on a team but adjusting to that same team that is working in different locations. Many of these aspects are just as true for team sitting in the same location. Regardless of where one is located, people “listen” or process in different ways. To get a message across or gather information, one has to know what methods work best for both parties. Being remote reduces our normal information transactions as we are not able to process in person, visually seeing and sharing facial expressions and body language. Visual methods like video conference calls or Skype can helps with that but still not the same. Good advice throughout, especially if you have people that are not located next to you.
The reflection questions at the end of the chapters are good triggers for processing the chapter's key themes.
