REMOTE Office Not Required

Some 40 years after the term "telecommute" was coined, the idea of working from home is still actively resisted by many companies. Rebecca Lowman's persuasive narration may go some way toward making businesses realize they can dramatically increase productivity through employee telecommuting. The authors are the founders of the software company 37signals, which has longstanding experience in managing remote workers, and their audiobook will help employees who want to approach their bosses with a work-from-home proposal. Lowman's voice, which is both youthful and businesslike, nicely matches the tone of the material and, presumably, the culture of 37signals. This work packs a lot of wisdom into a quick listen.
