Publisher Description
Se perguntarmos às pessoas para onde vão quando precisam mesmo de despachar trabalho, poucas serão as que respondem ‘para o escritório’. Quando trabalha sozinho, longe do burburinho da empresa, consegue concentrar-se e produzir. Consegue até despachar o trabalho, o tal que não conseguia fazer no trabalho!” Jason Fried e David Heinemeier Hansson sabem do que falam. Quando os autores do bestseller Rework começaram a trabalhar juntos, um vivia em Chicago, o outro em Copenhaga. Agora têm uma equipa de 36 pessoas espalhada pelo mundo, faturam milhões.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
As cofounders of software company 37Signals, which provides tech architecture for telecommuters, Hansson and Fried (authors of Rework) are great believers in working remotely. Eager to proselytize, they offer a short volume extolling the virtues of telecommuting, detailing the benefits to both employer and employee, and explaining how to introduce the concept into a company. In seven sections and a conclusion, the authors attempt to provide guideposts on some of the major issues, such as how to convince management to allow employees to work outside of the office. While the book's overall organization is reasonable, the individual chapters are so brief that they give the impression that Hansson and Fried have extremely short attention spans. Although 37Signals clearly prospers under the management strategy extolled here, the authors appear unaware of the difficulties of telecommuting in some sectors (for instance, in the service industry). Hansson and Fried's amateurish and haphazard case fails to convince, not because it lacks merit, but because the authors seem to be phoning it in.
