36 opinionated principles for distributed teams that work

What it does

The calmer, clearer, more focused way to run remote teams. An opinionated, open-source book for founders and leaders building remote-first companies. 36 principles across 9 sections, covering trust, async communication, hiring, tools, connection, and scaling. No hedging. No "it depends." Just what works after 20 years of building distributed teams across continents. Free to read online. Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0.
