Running Remote: Master the Lessons from the World’s Most Successful Remote-Work Pioneers Hardcover – August 16, 2022

Running Remote is fantastic book. It’s a guide to allow early-stage entrepreneurs get a better understanding of how to set up their businesses remotely. It explains why they should do it, as well as the critical success factors to building a successful remote business.These are big topics, and no one book provides answers to all these challenges. This book comes close. Running Remote provides a strong framework for entrepreneurial success. There are many great questions to consider in the book.The authors also provide real world examples that should make their ideas more concrete. The book is well thought out and gives the reader a great place to start their journey.This book is helping ignite a remote entrepreneurial revolution!

More than just working remotely, it is a guide to shifting your working default toward asynchronous communication. It's about restructuring the way you structure, perform, and monitor work that doesn't require people to be constantly interrupting each other.Eye-opening. The authors are pragmatic, this doesn't eliminate the need to talk to colleagues, it just changes the default so that you use async for most tasks, and you only use meetings for tasks that actually need them.I implemented a bunch of their changes, particularly around providing more and better task information, and documentation. A couple of days in, and it is already paying dividends. Seems so obvious in retrospect! Highly recommended.

Very general takeaways from this book but the real meat isn’t shared since that is what the authors want you to engage their services for. Wish it went more in depth on tactics but will take the high level overview. Still helpful and appreciate the viewpoint

In a world where remote work has yet to become standardized in terms, policy, and vision -- this book provides MUCH NEEDED clarity. This book is ahead of its time, and anyone who gets ahold of it now will be years ahead of those who aren't. The concepts are coming from the best and brightest innovators in remote work and being in the industry myself, I couldn't be more excited for the evangelism!!

Running Remote hits the async nail on the head. Liam and Rob put out an amazing collection of stories and lessons here, woven together with a thoughtful narrative and advice it’s obvious has been earned through years of remote leadership. Awesome book to add to your shelf and certainly helpful to anyone considering the remote work transition for their team, or for those actively async but just trying to do it better.

I have been interested for a few years about remote work but this book helped me understand that this might be actually one of the biggest changes in human history. This is a civilizational shift and thats why this book is so important. 5 stars!!! I haven't blown my mind in a while.

Our firm have been remote for a long time, over 20+ years. We work with many firms who want to but struggle for various reasons, and its in large part because the executive team aren't on board with it, and they don't trust the work will be done. This book addresses how to do this effectively, and I think it's a very cathartic experience for any company to go through, because it places the emphasis on their metrics, their KPIs and business processes, and less on actual management. The async model relies on having airtight processes that actually takes over the real management muscle. I wasn't expecting the book to be as interesting as it was - it really is a revolution going on, and we see it daily in our work as a B2B company with clients nationwide.

Running Remote by Liam Martin and Rob Rawson is an excellent resource for anyone looking to take their team fully remote (or learn how to better manage an already remote team).Having worked remotely for 16 years, I am very aware that some companies do the remote thing well, and others do not. “The first mistake most companies make: trying to recreate the office.” Martin and Rawson advise against recreating the office in a remote work environment and instead focus on asynchronous communication. I’m still wrestling with this a bit because, while I am a big fan of asynchronous communication, it takes everyone’s buy-in to make it work.Another thing that stood out to me in the book is that they mention multiple times how introverts are typically more successful in remote environments. Some of the reasons include the ability to focus without distractions, remote work often relies heavily on written communication, which can be a strength for introverts, and they are not outshined by the most charismatic person in the room as is usually the case in a traditional office. All of this resonated with me because I struggled when working in an office with constant distractions, yet thrived when I started working remotely.Overall, Running Remote is a valuable resource for anyone managing a remote team (or thinking about it). It’s well-written and chock-full of invaluable insights that will help you and your team excel in a remote work environment.
