In his new book, The Year Without Pants: WordPress.com and the Future of Work, author Scott Berkun outlined what he learned while working as a manager at the major blog company.
On today’s Morning Media Menu, Berkun shared insights that can help editors, publishers and writers cope with the rapidly changing digital workplace. Press play below to listen, but here’s an excerpt:
Working remotely at all is considered taboo at some companies, but I think that is foolish. It should all be focused on the results instead of these superficial characteristics. If someone can work well remotely, then where they are in the world shouldn’t really matter that much. It should be focused on their output and their results.

Sounds like a year of “Great Expectations” to me.
Can’t wait to read the book.
If the mainstream media worldwide won’t put Scott Berkun’s book in this year’s Top 10 lists, there is something very wrong with our world. The excerpts have already got me hooked.
I Loved this book! A really fun insider’s look at the culture of Automattic and WordPress.com and how well they work as a distributed company. I found it fascinating; I think I read it in two sittings.
Oh boy, can’t wait! “You can’t judge a book,” and all that, but I am enjoying staring at this book cover, so that in itself is a good thing; and the title is enticing. Looking forward to the read (and the trivia quiz)!
I hope to win a copy and if not, keep playing! :)
Recommending it to our managers right now!
An insightful and interesting read. The open source strategy has really worked and still working to date.
