Sharing another book review.
Yap, saya baru saja beres membaca buku "REMOTE: Office Not Required", nothing so special about this book, tapi masih bagus untuk dibaca terutama untuk orang-orang maupun perusahaan yang mau menerapkan Remote Working.
Get to the point, berikut materi-materi bagus yang ada di buku ini menurut saya:
- WHY WORK DOESN'T HAPPEN AT WORK
Meaningful work, creative work, thoughtful work, important work -- this type of effort takes stretches of uninterrupted time to get into the zone. But in the modern office such long stretches just can't be found. Instead, it's just one interruption after another.
- YOU'RE PROBABLY ALREADY DOING REMOTE WORKING
Why do companies have no problem working with (an outsourcing company such as) a lawyer who works in the next town over and yet distrust their own employees to work anywhere other than their own desks? It just doesn't make sense.
- ON WRITING WELL
Being a good writer is an essential part of being a good remote worker.
- BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR OVERWORK, NOT UNDERWORK
Working at home and living there means there's less delineation between the two parts of your life. It's everyone's jobs to be on the lookout for coworkers who are overworking themselves, but ultimately the responsibility lies with the managers and business owners to set the tone.
