Who Works Where [and Who Cares?]

A Manager's Guide to the New World of Work

By Kyra Cavanaugh

Overview


Who Works Where (and Who Cares?) is a practical, hands-on book that shows managers how to boost collaboration and performance even when their teams don't work together in the same time or space. Designed for flexible, virtual, and dispersed work teams, Who Works Where is an interactive tool that managers can start using immediately to increase their skills and establish team norms for this new age of work. In a world where job descriptions now include disclaimers like "remote candidates considered" and "on-site not required," managers must step up their game and place a higher priority on building connection, communication, and capacity among coworkers who don't always see each other face-to-face.
