The Power of Remote - Building High-Performing Organizations That Thrive in the Virtual Workplace

Cynthia Watson, Shane Spraggs

Summary

With increased demand for hybrid and fully remote work styles, most firms understand that some form of distance work is here to stay - and have put some remote protocols in place. But are they the right ones? Do they reflect best practices when it comes to the hiring, training, and onboarding of new remote hires? Are policies and workflows in place that enable remote workers to be as productive as possible? Does management know how to keep remote teams engaged while keeping an eye out for burnout and other wellness issues? Often, the answer is “we’re not quite there yet.” Many companies either see the shift to remote work as a threat to their culture and management style, or they just don’t know how to make the transition. It’s time to take advantage of the many opportunities remote work presents. Stop saying “we’re not there yet,” and start saying “we’ve arrived!” This book will show you how.

Beyond Busyness - Time Wisdom...

Stephen Cherry

"a gift to any busy minister"
 - Dr Tim Ling

 
Beyond Busyness is a practical and effective step towards connecting up the limitations of time with the demands and realities of ministry. It helps ministers to take positive steps in developing a time wisdom which will help them navigate the very considerable pressures that many currently face.

 
"Beyond Busyness abounds with practical wisdom for those engaged in Christian Ministry. At a time when busyness, anxiety and stress characterise the lives of many of the Church's ministers, Stephen Cherry has written a much-needed book. It very effectively challenges ministers to reflect on how they approach and use the gift of time. Each of the short 28 sessions offers considerable insight into the nature of time and encourages ministers to confront their current habits and develop new life-giving practices through which their ministry can thrive and they can flourish. Every minister should spend time not only reading Beyond Busyness but integrating its wisdom into their lives."
 - DR JOCELYN BRYAN, Director of Postgraduate Studies, St John's College, Durham University
