How to achieve together, when everybody is working from home

About the Book

Once you have the basic tools installed and you've refreshed yourself on how to put together meeting agendas, what's next? Well, quite a lot, based on a few years of participating in and running distributed teams for established companies. The tools and trappings are just the icing on the cake.

The "cake" is the underlying principles of running teams, and figuring out how to apply them to your remote team.

You will discover:

  • What is the one key thing about running remote teams that makes everything else easier or unnecessary
  • Why senior level alignment is critical for remote team effectiveness
  • How to achieve team outcomes together at a distance
  • Why numbers matter and how to think about them usefully in a remote context
  • How to choose the right metrics to track progress, and why the type of metric matters more than the individual metrics
  • How to achieve and maintain alignment from top to bottom to top

About the Author

Lukasz Szyrmer

Luke Szyrmer is the bestselling author of Launch Tomorrow and an innovation consultant. He helps companies speed up and improve new product development. Luke got into innovation by successfully validating a number of not-so-great startup ideas using landing pages and paid advertising. As he validated that there was unmet demand for a book on this topic, he wrote it. Luke helps primarily with the early or seed stage, by connecting product and marketing together with clear messaging around the product. Often, customers succeed when they quickly identify and discard a bad idea. Also, his readers and customers have gone on to achieve 9 figure exits using the techniques in his work.
