The book
Running Remote
The Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly bestseller on asynchronous management — everything Rob Rawson and I learned building remote companies for two decades, written down so you can skip our mistakes.
The async mindset
What's inside
Deliberate overcommunication
Write things down like the reader is asleep in another hemisphere — because they are. Async teams document by default and meet as a last resort.
Democratized workflows
If work only moves when a manager pushes it, you've built a bottleneck with a salary. Process belongs to everyone, visible to everyone.
Detailed metrics
Measure the work, not the worker. Output beats observation, and the numbers should be as transparent to the team as they are to the boss.
Blurbs we did not pay for
