Remote work is a discipline for the individual worker, but distributed work is a discipline for the entire organization.

“This massive shift towards mass remote working, is just a huge loss of context around work.”—Chris Marsh

“I think it’s really incumbent on the business to reduce the friction in the work execution experience, not the individual.”—Chris Marsh

From a distributed work perspective, a company is just a collection of resources aligned on a common mission.

“I think alignment comes back to good visibility, good transparency, and more open culture. It requires more structure around work.”—Chris Marsh
