Introduction
In 2018, we wrote The Long-Distance Leader, Rules for Remarkable Remote Leadership. At the time, remote work (or telecommuting or telework, or whatever else they called it) was growing but still new to so many leaders.
Then came COVID, and the world changed. Suddenly, a third of the North American workforce was working remotely. Jobs we thought had to be done in-office were successfully being done without commuting to a location every day. Thousands of people found the work we do and the training solutions we offer to be helpful in navigating these changes, and we are proud of that.
And through all this, what remained consistent were the rules for leading remote teams. The lessons and models in the first book are still as relevant today as when we wrote them six years ago.

This book is a must-read not just because the authors have been at the cutting-edge of remote leadership for some time, but because it is engaging, honest, practical and useful.

Wayne and Kevin's book offers the reader a solid foundation in leadership in any circumstance and layers it with virtual leadership or leadership at a distance. It is full of nuance and nudges that will help you navigate through the labyrinths of leading at a distance.
David Zinger // Founder & Host of the Global 7500 Member Employee Engagement Network
Great book. Spot on time-wise. Moving from 'managing' people to 'leading' people has never been more relevant. A 'manager' manages people, a 'leader' employs great people and trusts them to achieve amazing results.
Ann Andrews, CSP // Author of "Lessons in Leadership: 50 Ways to Avoid Falling into the 'Trump' Trap"
Leadership isn't easy. Working remotely adds a new dynamic. The practical tips in this book give the reader the edge they need to be successful leading remote teams; practical tools that can give you the competitive advantage to get the most out of your remote teams.
