The Remote Manager

di Carla Estevez (Autore)

epubli, 2026

When companies shifted to remote work, managers scrambled to replicate the physical office online. They bought VR headsets, scheduled virtual happy hours, and tried to force the serendipity of the watercooler through software. It was, as Carla Estevez reveals, an unmitigated disaster. Why do these attempts to digitize office culture consistently fail? The Remote Manager digs into the flawed management theories, like the Allen Curve, that created an obsession with physical proximity. The book dissects major studies, including a massive analysis of 61,182 Microsoft employees, to show precisely how remote work shatters old communication patterns and renders forced socialization ineffective and exhausting. Estevez argues that the solution is not better simulation, but a radical shift in thinking. Instead of performing presence, successful leaders build an "artifact-driven" culture based on asynchronous work and meticulous documentation. This investigation uncovers the practical, powerful methods of the "editor-in-chief" manager, providing a blueprint for building a truly autonomous and high-performing distributed team.
