Human at a Distance: An Open Organization Guide to Distributed Teamwork

·1 min

In the Open Org book series we released a book gathering our ideas and experiences on how to thrive in a remote and distributed work environment.

Human at a Distance explores how open principles and practices can help organizations foster collaboration, increase transparency, enhance accountability, and establish a greater degree of trust while their members are geographically separated. It offers distributed teams (those working remotely for the first time, as well as those with extensive remote-work experience) a guide to building dynamic and inclusive organizations—no matter where their members happen to be.
