Review Quotes

...a fantastic book that will help anybody build the skills to ensure your teams stay engaged, stay focused, and stay happy.

I highly recommend leaders furnish this book to their managers and teams. The thing that sets this book apart from the many articles, blogs and books written about remote work is how Romo shares actionable knowledge and information. She gives leaders the "how" to improve as remote leaders rather than just detailing the current challenges and theories.

If you are looking for straightforward tools and specific actions you can take to support your team and create the conditions for them to thrive in hybrid work, this book is for you. It's carefully researched and filled with relatable stories that make it an enjoyable and quick read.

This brand-new, brilliantly written book, based on revealing interviews, allows CEO's to understand the work-at-home phenomenon with more clarity and sensitivity to create a better workforce..a riveting business book, written by a skillful and intelligent executive.

This is an important topic. Everyone leading a team - or who wants to ultimately lead a team - should read this book.
