Excellent practical text on issues of distance management, 26 Jul 2001
This book was easy to read. It is structured to allow you to dip in and out of the relevant chapters. I found it particularly useful as its focus is more on the behavioural / management skills of managing a remote team, rather than the use of technology in managing remote teams. (Though there are a couple of chapters on this) Whilst some of the skills of managing from a distance are no different to managing with your team close by, the book gives clear insights into the differences between the two. I liked it so much I am now buying copies to give to delegates on my Distance Management development programmes.

Remote working, 22 Oct 2003
I have been a remote worker for ten years and I would recommend this book. It is a really practical and very helpful guide to both the remote worker and their manager. If you are thinking of working from home or thinking of offering an employee the opportunity to work remotely then this book is an invaluable source of information. It could save you, the manager or the company much aggravation and sorrow, avoid problems and ensure a happy remote working relationship.

Ahead of its time in 1996. Somewhat dated now. Well done., 04 Apr 1999
Even with the explosion in home based technology in the last three years the basics in the book are well researched and well written. I was really hopeing to find an updated version of this pioneer work. Having many employees now living the vision Ms. Bredin wrote about I require this book to be read and kept/used as reference. It's almost part of the employee manual. I know when they see the 1996 copyright date, and they think they are doing something new, it seems a chore to have to read the book. In the end all have been happy they did. Looking forward to the update.
