- Chapter 02Set priorities people can findRank the work, post it once a week, and say what isn’t happening.
- Chapter 03Make status come from the workStop asking for updates.
- Chapter 04Hand off work, and get out of the middleA handoff note that answers the next question, decision limits in writing, and a second owner for everything that matters.
- Chapter 05Protect focus without going darkAgree how fast people need to reply, keep one active task, and park work in a minute before switching.
- Chapter 06Hold the team accountable without watching itWatch the work, not the people.
- Chapter 07Your first 30 daysOne habit a week, in the order that pays back fastest, and four numbers that tell you it’s working.
- TemplatesNine templates to copyPriority post, Friday recap, handoff note and more.
The idea in brief
Replace asking with writing.
Remote teams don’t get the information that floats around an office. Write it down once, where the work lives, and the work starts to show itself.
