Book description

Bring out the best in your hybrid team with this invaluable resource

Work from Anywhere delivers practical strategies and actionable guidance on how to develop a high performing team and business in a remote and distributed environment. Accomplished authors, behavioural experts, and fast-growth business leaders, Alison and Darren Hill, show you how to craft business and culture strategies to bring out the best in your hybrid and remote team members by focusing on both performance and people.

You'll learn how to:

  • Understand the unique psychology, methodology, and technology that makes hybrid teams excel
  • Develop strategies for embedding high performance across your team, no matter where they're located
  • Create rhythms and rituals to keep your team highly motivated and on task, and avoid disengagement

The ability to work from anywhere is no longer just a HR conversation, it is an Executive conversation. Perfect for business leaders working with hybrid teams, Work from Anywhere is also ideal for organizational development executives, cultural transition leaders, business leaders, and entrepreneurs who are responsible for ensuring that employees consistently perform at their best, regardless of location.
