    Editor's Note

    Work from home…

    A lot of the very specific, no-nonsense management tips in this book meant for remote teams apply in any situation: Explain to your employees why the work they do is important; assign a task to one person, rather than asking a group of employees whether they can do it or not. Other suggestions deal with virtual meetings and how to build camaraderie among people who aren’t in the same physical space.
