Five posts that touched a nerve this week
This week, a large number of my Future of Work community convened in Lisbon for the Running Remote conference. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend in person, but did keep an eye on sessions and social for to get into the flow of the show and sessions and smiles.
And even while the vast majority of organizations today are NOT fully remote, the lessons from fully remote organizations, especially around communication protocols, increasing engagement, strengthen teams, increasing decision velocity, creating the conditions to get enthusiastic contributions from each member of the team, something increasingly as important as the pace of change away from 'what is' to 'what will be' is faster every day. 'Creating Conditions' is very different from 'Command and Control' but the behaviors are discrete, discontented, and get easy to do as you exercise the muscle.
Congrats team Running Remote on another amazing few days in sunny Lisbon.
No surprise, many of this week's posts feature important voices that were sharing their wisdom at the show. Easy travels home to all.
This week's Friday Five, five posts that touched a nerve
The Friday Five
Satisfaction
Most of the work that most people do for most of the day is better in an environment that you control without other people tapping you on the shoulder - Phil Kirschner
We've moved beyond the age of average. General purpose doesn't cut it any more. Optimize your significant space investment around a clearly defined, authentic purpose. As Phil says later in the interview, create a space that earns a chapter in the company's success story.

Remote
All remote forces you to be great at things that any business should be great at anyway - Darren Murph
Darren reminds us that the things remote companies are good at, ALL organizations should be could at, starting with a documentation first, transparent, company operating manual. The goodness and learning applies to all, not just remote.

The Perfect Slide
If I had the one perfect slide. No it's not the one perfect slide, it's the volume of things that you send out there that are digestible - Vittorio Viarengo
Content Flow - the Funnel is your friend. I call it Conte's Law, from Jack Conte, founder of Patreon. Works for more than sales pipeline, works for creative output too. Don't over index on any single item.

Advantage
From 'The Advantage,' businesses thrive when they walk thorough these four steps, achieve leadership cohesion, create clarity, communicate clarity, repeat - Tom Hunt
If you haven't watched Tom put this in action, consider following him, and even activating his notification bell. His messages are simple, and resonate to an amazing degree, as evidenced by engagement. Reach is one thing, real engagement is something different.

Active participant in community
One of the biggest unlocks is to not untether people from desks, but untether them from synchronous workflows - Dave Cairns
Not average, Very local, and digital connections extended globally, touched physically, occasionally. Still in pursuit of the North Star of Truth Go Dave Go!

BONUS - Together
Even if you're digital first, that doesn't mean never in person. It really is important that you get teams together - Brian Elliott
Brian is sharing his wisdom in Lisbon this week at Running Remote. If your not 100% remote, why should you care? Because distributed and digital best practices are VERY applicable to ALL teams when it comes to building connected teams that perform. And Future Forum (with others) have a research library to back that up.
