Summary

The future is already here—it's just not evenly distributed.` This quote by William Gibson opens the book `REMOTE: Office Not Required` by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, co-founders of Basecamp. The authors are a remote team themselves and have written this comprehensive beginner's guide to remote teams. Reading the book has made them realize that strong information about how to work is not specific to remote teams, but rather applicable to all teams. They recommend reading `REMOTE` for its valuable insights into how to identify great workers, manage most work effectively, overcome interruptions, evaluate progress, and avoid office politics. The authors' management techniques can be applied in both remote and non-remote settings, making the book a valuable resource for any team leader.
