Remote Work for Design Teams: Lessons in leadership, collaboration, and culture

Show notes: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/remoteworkbook

We’ve just published a new book on DesignBetter.com called Remote Work for Design Teams, to help you make a graceful transition from the office to a remote work environment. In this bonus episode, we speak with the authors of the book (all from InVision): Abby Sinnott, Managing Editor, Greg Storey, Senior Director of Executive Programs, and Ben Goldman, Director of InVision Films.

We chat with Abby, Greg and Ben about their own remote collaboration and teamwork while writing this book, which the team turned around in record time. We also review some tips for leaders during this crisis, and discuss why being productive at work shouldn’t necessarily be top priority for everyone on the team.

If your team needs a little helping hand during these challenging times, you can head over to designbetter.com/remotework, and download the book for free.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The non-obvious advantages of being a distributed team when creating this book
• How remote work lends itself to both divergent and convergent modes of creativity
• Why remote collaboration can build trust through vulnerability
