About This Episode

For many organizations, the future of work is hybrid, but that doesn't mean a return to the office should bring back old assumptions about how work gets done. Managing a work-from-anywhere world requires a more strategic plan, says Dr. Alexandra Samuel. In this episode, Alexandra shares tips on how leaders can adopt a team-based approach to managing remote schedules, optimize tasks for the home and office, and develop opportunities for "punctuated collaboration" that supports work flow and people's strengths.
