What Remote Work Is Really About. And Why Gen X Leaders Might Understand It Best.
Although there is very little written about it, Generation X is now of the age where they should be running – or at least heavily influencing — many of the major business organisations. The group that was born roughly between 1965 and 1980, now has a median age of 50. Historically, that’s right about the […]
Leaders Will Need Not Only To Modify Office Spaces: They Must Reinvent Them
We’ve had offices for hundreds of years, in one form or another, from medieval monks in scriptoriums to Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic designs. While they’ve evolved in size and aesthetic and location, they have shared the same goal: principally, offices provide a functional space for workers to accomplish occupational tasks. The workplace was about the actual resources […]
How Working Anywhere Has Changed Things. . .Somewhere
While companies have become increasingly comfortable with the idea that hybrid work arrangements are a permanent reality, they are still working to re-orient how they operate. In other words, the day-to-day function has mostly been a revision of our historical work environment. Companies have swapped out in-person meetings for Zoom calls, updated benefits to include […]
The Place Where We Work May No Longer Be The Workplace
Not working from home. Not working at the office. What the new workplace might look like. The focus of the last few years have been on working remotely and hybrid work arrangements. Understandably so, as the way employees are interacting with organisations has changed dramatically. But the conversation has centered around two alternatives: working at […]

The World Of Work Has Changed. But Have Leaders Figured Out New Rules?
The new world order that we have settled into since the pandemic now feels equal parts strange and familiar. We don’t see masks as often, but when we do, we don’t react. Whether you learn someone is working fully remote permanently or is on site every day, it seems equally normal. While the initial resistance […]
Employees Want Hybrid Work. Employers Are Unsure. What About Customers And Suppliers?
After the worldwide upheaval of Covid-19, it is clear that we’re never going back to work the way we knew it. According to a World Economic Forum survey, 70% of UK respondents said they prefer hybrid work arrangements. And while most employers are working to find ways to meet the new needs of talent, they still […]
Hybrid Work Meetings Need New Rules. Employers Need To Provide Them.
When I began my career in the late nineties, I was working in Warsaw. There were not a lot of Americans, but a handful of us began to informally meet on Saturday mornings. Attendance was not required by our employer; it was just a bunch of people (mostly guys) who came into the office on […]
How Do You Keep Your Culture In A Hybrid Work Environment?
Millions of people now work in fully or partly remote situations and it should be clear that we have arrived at a permanent shift in what ‘workplace’ means. But that suggests that workplace is simply the physical address at which you perform the duties of your job. The real definition is more complicated because our […]
