Not Working, but Tasking
Chairman Kim Bong-jin of Woowa Brothers, in What on Earth Is Going On! (Woowa Brothers, Bookstone, 2022), answers the question of what it means to be good at work as follows.

To think about what it means to work well, we need to look at the words "work" and "well." If you search for the word "work" on a portal site, it says, "the object one seeks to accomplish according to a certain plan and intention." That is what work is. There must be intention and plan. Being good at it means bringing it into a good state. You have to create a result, but not just any result. You have to create it well, which means the plan and intention at the beginning have to be made well. In the end, being good at work seems to mean making a good plan from the start, not forgetting it, and continuing to think about what the goal and result of this work are while doing it.

There can be no unnecessary excess in a remote-work culture.
Remote work is, by nature, a system that operates outside direct control. That is why people who can only do their jobs through control, or who only do what they are told, are not a fit for remote-work organizations.
In other words, a remote-work organization should consist not of people who merely do work in a mindless, habitual way, but of people who understand the impact of their work on the company, set clear goals and plans suited to their abilities, and work with intention, tasking. Only then can they avoid losing their way while working apart, and only then can performance be measured.
