From the Inside Flap

We knew virtual workplaces were coming, but we didn't think they would come so soon. Yet, here we are, sitting in our home offices, trying to make sense of our now-remote careers. Do our employers still remember that we exist? How can we get noticed from a distance? What does it mean to lead and inspire a team that never meets face-to-face? These are pressing questions, and the dog isn't much help in answering them. Thankfully, Karen Mangia has come to our rescue with Working From Home: Making the New Normal Work for You.

Offices are carefully planned work environments that emphasize focus and productivity. When we shift to remote roles, not only do we lose the benefit of meeting in person, we lose that emphasis and find ourselves isolated in spaces that might invite us to distraction. The first step to successfully working from home is to create an environment where you will thrive professionally. This book provides readers with sound advice on how to set up a virtual office, claim that work-from-home space, and begin remotely connecting with colleagues on a regular schedule.

Are effective communication, collaboration, and growth really possible in remote- work environments? As a member of the leadership team at Salesforce, author Karen Mangia has played a pivotal role in creating technology-enabled, virtual experiences and insights. This just-in-time book explores the ins and outs of remote collaboration, with expert guidance on creating team alignment and influence using tech tools and strategies. Every virtual team member and remote leader in today's suddenly remote business world will want a copy of this book.
