Writing this book was a transformational experience. It challenged my views on culture, but I also realized that we don't need to be office-centric to build a culture that's strong.

As I interviewed people, I observed fear, excitement, and skepticism. I met leaders who wanted to go back to normal and others brave enough to admit things had changed and they didn't have the answers.

I also encountered people who would rather lose their jobs than the flexibility they gained by working remotely.

It's time to get past the office versus remote work debate. We need to integrate the best of both worlds and create a more flexible, equal experience for all employees.

My journey was also living proof of what I've been preaching all these years: successful organizations are the result of design, not chance. In a hybrid workplace, being intentional, purposeful, and consistent is even more critical.

I had a dream: to create an actionable book that combines data, insights, and tools. I landed on a five-step approach that is foundational but not prescriptive. It will help you build your own playbook and experiment with the various activities and tools I put together.

Here's what people are saying about Remote, Not Distant:

"The future of work isn't fixed; it's waiting to be built. Remote, Not Distant offers a tactical blueprint to building a better future for all."––Darren Murph, Head of Remote, GitLab
