Deans https://runningremote.com/what-every-ceo-gets-wrong-about-return-to-office-annie-dean-atlassian/#comment-4127207 Sat, 01 Jun 2024 12:30:29 +0000 https://runningremote.com/?p=2061840#comment-4127207 The rush to create a return-to-office mandate merely demonstrates a CEO’s lack of imagination. The mainstreaming of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic was an opportunity to rethink “normal” business processes. Bold leaders used the disruption to imagine a better way, beyond the status quo norms. In contrast, fearful leaders craved a return to the old familiar way of doing things — even when they knew it was dysfunctional. My takeaway from this session was an appreciation for leaders who are capable of brave and imaginative critical thinking in times of disruption and change.

Comment on Office at the Offsite – Future of All-Remote Organizations – Insights from Prithwiraj (Raj) Choudhury, Lumry Family Associate Professor at Harvard Business School by David H. Deans https://runningremote.com/office-at-the-offsite-raj-choudhury-harvard/#comment-4126827 Fri, 24 May 2024 13:27:50 +0000 https://runningremote.com/?p=2061835#comment-4126827 The mandated “return to office” for many knowledge workers signifies a missed opportunity. The pandemic era forced a societal experiment in remote work, revealing a hidden wellspring of productivity and flexibility. By insisting on a return to a pre-pandemic model, there’s a sense of unimaginative leaders clinging to outdated notions of work that prioritize physical presence over results.

It’s a regression that overlooks the potential for a more empowered, geographically agnostic workforce, one that thrives on autonomy and delivers business outcome results. I believe that this reversal undermines the progress made in dismantling the unnecessary tethering of talent to a specific location. That said, ‘fear of change’ is very common.

I’ve been using both TransferWise and PayPal for my business, and I find that TransferWise’s transparent fees and real exchange rates give me better value for my international transactions. However, PayPal’s widespread acceptance is still a huge advantage. It ultimately depends on the specific needs of your business!

In my opinion, the biggest problem is the interaction between team members; it’s not as good as normal working, so maybe the working environment is less friendly
