One thing I have been thinking about is that remote companies will have difficulty with leadership that doesn’t understand the tech they are working with. When I look at my current company even one or two levels up there are people who have no understanding of a lot of technology and aren’t able to make quick judgement calls. So they need a lot of meetings and salesmanship within the company to make decisions. When I look at successful remote companies like Automatic, 37 Signals or StackOverflow they all have very strong leaders who can’t be bullshitted in technology but have a pretty good idea what they want to do. They also can judge the output of their people. It’s hard to be the boss of a remote worker whose work you don’t understand. How can you tell if somebody is good or not?
