Where will this all end?

This is hard to figure out!

Hybrid, Mybrid, In-Office, Remote, Work from anywhere, Necessary Proximity.

We’re all rewriting the playbook. The increased optionality creates at least as much chaos as it does opportunity.

Where will this all end?

With increased optionality, comes the requirement to define what your culture will be.

I defer to the words of an anonymous CEO “If I were going to make one plea or request to the world, it would be for grace and the benefit of the doubt. Everybody’s just trying their best. We want to do the right thing by our employees. We want to do the right thing for the company overall. And it’s really unclear what the right thing is.” Thanks Kevin Delaney (https://lnkd.in/ge7Wu7bE) for your excellent newsletter.

The truth is proximity matters early in your career to speed the learning process. Remote matters most for those at a different stage in their career as they balance life and family. The paradoxes we much manage are many.

Kudos to the leader’s out there sorting this out.

Please remember, there are very few “bad” leaders and companies. Just a bunch of people sorting out how their organization is going to work in the post-pandemic world. You then have a choice to align with an organization that best suits you.
