    A leadership hack for flexible work that drives productivity and opens up space to be inclusive and equitable.

    This leadership hack was a game-changer for me. It drove a culture change and set healthy norms in a distributed team. At the onset of the pandemic lockdown, everyone was forced to be remote. No one knew how to manage themselves and others. They mistook “always be ON” for performing. My research on flexible work, a passion project, was before the pandemic. It taught me that such behaviors would be a recipe for burnout. _______________ If you like this, ♻ repost and share it with others. Follow me for future posts.

    Remote isn't bad for business, after all!

    So remote work is bad for business results, huh? Starbucks' new CEO will work remotely and be among the highest-paid. He will be commuting to Seattle as needed. The high pay relates to the job's criticality. A desperate, herculean turnaround is needed. The "exception" to work remote and visit HQ as needed - comes because top talent demands it. Both factors show that you will make flexibility work if you mean it. One-size-fits-all policies are bogus. It's all about the intentionality of leadership from the top. I am very happy to see this. I was advocating for remote work a year before the pandemic. In my research on companies that got it right, especially startups, I found a similar trend. If the board needed a key player for growth and they didn't want to relocate - the CEO would oblige. This would allow a culture that is remote-friendly. It let startups scale while competing for talent outside the usual hotspots. At the same time, being in better financial shape. That would all stop once they took over or got big enough for HQ-centricity to define careers. Those who resist flexibility without evidence will pay a big price. As soon as the talent market gets hot, this will be the norm. I predict the race for AI talent will spearhead this in tech.  _______________ If you like this or disagree with this, would love to hear your comments. Follow me for future posts. All thoughts shared are my perspective only.
