Physical Presence ≠ Productivity: Busting the Biggest Leadership Myth of 2025 In a world obsessed with "butts in seats," our latest episode tackles the age-old question that's more relevant than ever: Does physical presence actually equal productivity? (Spoiler alert: It doesn't.) The Truth Behind the Desk When COVID-19 forced a global experiment in remote work, it exposed something many leaders weren't ready to admit—productivity has very little to do with where your body is located. As illustrated through real workplace examples, productivity is more about mindset than physical location. Culture Eats Location for Breakfast Our conversation highlighted a crucial insight: organizational culture trumps office policy every time. Without clear communication, articulated values, and intentional leadership, it doesn't matter if your team is sitting right in front of you or working from the moon. Trust: The Currency of Remote Success The leaders who thrived during pandemic-forced remote work were those who already trusted their teams. Those who equated supervision with productivity? They struggled mightily (and still do). The Bottom Line The most productive employees aren't necessarily the ones you can see—they're the ones who are mentally present and engaged with their work. Physical presence is just one ingredient in the productivity recipe, and often not even the most important one. Tune in for:

*** Summary *** In this episode, I confront the stubborn myth the return-to-office is the only way for business and teams to thrive. It is time we accept that hybrid workplaces are here to stay and I urge leaders to be inclusive in exploring the new ways of working that prioritise employee well-being and, crucially, introvert inclusion.   The outdated leadership practices often perpetuate bias—especially against those who thrive outside traditional office settings. It's a bold invitation to redesign workplace culture with flexibility, productivity, and genuine connection at the core, rather than clinging to outdated methods.    It is time to redefine the leadership norms and embrace "grown-up conversations" around flexibility, trust, and connection. Bold, inclusive hybrid working isn't just possible—it's necessary.   *** Key Points *** Presenteeism is not Productivity Proximity bias is real - and is outdated. Flexibility is not a perk, but an essential.   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.    

There's been a lot of controversy post-pandemic between companies and employees about returning to the physical workspace. This episode's guest, Wayne Turmel, is uniquely qualified to discuss this topic. Wayne was my guest on episode 77 in the fall of 2020 when we were dealing with the early months of COVID-19, and most people were working remotely. In that conversation, we discussed the book he and his co-author, Kevin Eikenberry, published PRE-COVID. It was called The Long-Distance Leader and focused on leading remote teams, so they were ahead of their time. They've recently released the second edition of The Long-Distance Leader, subtitled Revised Rules for Remarkable Remote and Hybrid Leadership. In his interview here, we discussed key ideas from the updated book. Wayne Turmel has been writing about developing communication and leadership skills for nearly 30 years. He's also taught and consulted at Fortune 500 companies and startups around the world. For 18 years, he's focused on the growing need to communicate effectively in remote and virtual environments.  In addition to his writing, Wayne is a sought-after speaker at business and leadership conferences and events. He's the author of 15 books and a frequent guest at events such as ATD's International Conference and Exposition and the European Digital Learning Expo. He's also the host of the Long Distance Worklife Podcast. Marshall Goldsmith calls him “One of the most unique voices in leadership today.” You'll discover: What happened after the first edition of the book that caused Wayne and Kevin to conclude they needed to update itWhat Wayne means when he uses the word HYBRID and how it differs from the commonly understood meaningThe importance of factoring in TIME as part of a hybrid work scheduleThe 3C model that needs to be considered when an organization wants to define its cultureThree reasons why young people want in-person time at the officeCheck out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedInFollow Meredith on TwitterDownload the free ebook Listen Like a Pro

Mental models can help simplify complex ideas.  Hybrid or remote work is more than just policy, strategy or design.  It's all of it working in concert.  Metaphors like garden design, an ecosystem or an orchestra can help us think about work in different ways. It's helpful to zoom out and use your imagination to understand how roles, departments and divisions intertwine and how does this lead to success?  What are the immovable pieces that give strength and stability but also make flexibility harder? What cycles repeat with regularity? Where is the flow? Where is the friction? This podcast episode uses garden design as a mental model to think about hybrid/remote within an organization. What questions do you have after you listen?

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. I would say it's all of the above just because of the sheer volume, but where most people are landing is with the hybrid work environment. Three days in the office, two to three days in the office, and two days outside the office. The other thing we're seeing is companies going to four-day work weeks, four 10-hour days as opposed to five eight-hour days. That way you have a long weekend every weekend. And so Mondays and Fridays, generally speaking, whichever model you choose, Mondays and Fridays are becoming the flex day. And most of the in-office collaboration, team meetings, those are happening Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and people are allowed to work remotely Monday and FridaySo that's what we're seeing mostly.  And I think the hybrid model is a good compromise.  It allows you a lot of flexibility, still keep your side hustle, and you have to live reasonably close to where you work.  Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Can a company's potential only be as good as its culture? A lot goes on in a workplace between hiring and firing and what happens in that company is fundamental for attracting top quality talent. One thing that has become clear since the pandemic is that companies can no longer push employees back into the office. This alone has presented a new set of obstacles as in-person interactions are still highly valuable in the workplace and younger generations may suffer from the lack of socialization and mentoring. Host Jack Russo looks to Margret Graziano and Andrew Gardiner to discuss managing a hybrid workplace that balances employee wants with company needs.     Margaret Graziano: https://www.margaretgraziano.com/  Andrew Gardiner: https://www.thehirekey.com/    Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

Welcome to another episode of Inside Personal Growth! We have Dr. Julie Kantor joining us today featuring her book co-authored by Felice Ekelman entitled Thrive with a Hybrid Workplace: Step-by-Step Guidance from the Experts.

Remote and hybrid work environments are here to stay. While some agencies have successfully returned to the office full-time, and some may have never even left, many agencies are still struggling to crack the code on hybrid work without upsetting their employees.   It's a difficult balance, but it has become ever-important as these demands begin cementing into our work culture. And if you're working with creatives, the conversation around a hybrid workplace has probably been even louder. So this week, we're joined by Felice Ekelman and Julie Kantor, authors of Thrive With a Hybrid Workplace: Step-by-step Guidance From the Experts, to teach us how to approach these conversations and transitions from a legal and psychological point-of-view. We all know that as agency owners, there's nothing more expensive or as valuable as our employees, and we just want them to be happy working with us. So tune in to learn how to have these conversations and set expectations around hybrid work environments so we can all have a better agency together.

Episode page with video, transcript, and more My guests for Episode #239 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast are Felice B. Ekelman, an employment lawyer, and Julie P. Kantor, a business psychologist and executive coach — they are authors of the new book, THRIVE WITH A HYBRID WORKPLACE: Step-by-Step Guidance from the Experts. Felice is a principal of Jackson Lewis PC, where she practices employment law. She has been quoted in Bloomberg News, The Wall Street Journal, Lexology, and Law 360. She lives in New York City. Julie is a business psychologist, executive coach, advisor, and founder of JP Kantor Consulting. She is a regular contributor to Forbes on leadership and employee engagement. She also lives in New York City. In today's episode, you'll hear their “favorite mistake” stories related to leaving a corporate job to start a firm and not appreciating the need to focus on one's personal brand. We also discuss how, in recent times, our global work culture has seen a paradigm shift with the incipient emergence of the hybrid workplace model. While this model promises exciting opportunities, there's no denying that it also presents unique challenges. The crucial role of leadership in these unprecedented times remains a significant focus of our conversation. More than ever, leaders must now find the balance between preserving company culture and enabling flexibility. Simultaneously, understanding the legal concerns, promoting a strong personal brand, and creating an employee-oriented workspace are imperative in the smooth transitioning to a hybrid model. However, there's no one-size-fits-all solution to these complexities, causing leaders to gravitate towards innovative, adaptable strategies. Dive in to gain a better understanding of creating harmonious, productive hybrid workplaces. Questions and Topics: Does a personal brand have to align with the firm's brand? How did the book come to be? And the collaboration? Brand is what OTHERS say about you? What differentiates you? Some mistakes require counseling and some get you sued? Policies on back to work — make an exception for one person — necessary or setting precedent for others??  How do you make exceptions? What are some “old biases” to look out for when designing or managing hybrid work? Where is hybrid work headed? — moving in a direction or a pendulum??  

How is the intersection of technology and human experience reshaping our workplaces? In this episode, we explore the dynamic evolution of work environments, where technology and human-centric practices are becoming increasingly intertwined. You'll hear about leveraging technology to create more inclusive and equitable workplaces, simplifying work processes through AI, and shifting the focus from productivity to impact.  Stela Lupushor is the founder of Reframe.Work Inc. She is also Program Director for the Strategic Workforce Planning and Talent Management Councils, as well as the Human Capital Analytics Institute Senior Fellow shaping the research agenda of the Conference Board. She offers a unique blend of expertise in her latest co-authored book, "Humans at Work: The Art and Practice of Creating the Hybrid Workplace."

Episode Highlights Insights on technology's immediate impact in today's work environment. Strategies for effective, real-time workplace measurements. Tips on reducing workplace friction to boost productivity and well-being. Understanding the importance of everyday moments in employee retention. Recognizing the power of addressing small, individual workplace challenges. Balancing employee privacy with organizational needs. Redesigning workspaces for mental health and improved focus. Stela's view on the greatest unmet wellbeing need at work today  “From a well-being perspective, [it's] the need to interact with an organization that is not designed to work around us. We look at the technology stack as something that IT managers manage, and it's all about cost containment and making it secure. And that comes at a cost of a lot of compliance training, not to say that none of that is necessary; it's very important. But it's more compliance-driven than experience-driven.  When we think about the physical workspace, it's again designed to minimize the costs and maximize the number of people that can fit within a square foot. And not necessarily designed to have the environment work around us for what we need, whether we have a permanent or temporary disability, whether we need quiet space at that specific time of the day. And with the combination of both digital world and physical world, we increasingly live in that in-between, regardless of what work you do, there's bound to be technology involved.  So, redesigning that experience, to allow us to seamlessly move through it without having context switching and friction points and forgotten passwords, inaccessible devices, will reduce the mental health impact, mental taxing in dramatic ways and really leave space for us to do the focused work or whatever it is that makes sense for us as humans at that time.” What "working with humans" means to Stela “It is about creating the environment where people can truly maximize their human potential at work. I don't believe that there are bad people for jobs. I don't believe there are bad jobs for people; I believe there's a mismatch. So, the more we can think through the lens of what are the superpowers of this individual, or what are the superpowers they would like to have, and how we can create that environment for them to thrive? I think that's when organizations succeed. That's when individuals are loyal and bring their full potential. That's when the economy benefits, and that's when families at home benefit as well. So, it's a net positive.” Resources Follow: Stela on LinkedIn Read: Humans at Work: The Art and Practice of Creating the Hybrid Workplace For more episodes that give you fresh perspectives and actionable ideas for making working with other humans better for everyone, visit our website at https://en.peoplefocusconsulting.com/resources/podcast/ ©Michael Glazer

The nature of work has changed, so how we manage it must change, too.As businesses barrel along into the fast-changing digital age, we find that the very nature of work has changed. The new name for the office or the factory is the hybrid workplace. Not only where we do work, but how we do work has changed, and how we synchronize work with each other has changed the most. For the firm, productivity is at risk. And all the standard approaches to business that we've been taught are outdated. Take management as an example. How do you manage a hybrid workplace and workforce. Our point of view at The Value Creators  is that management is an old-fashioned concept we have to discard. We need something new. The Value Creators podcast hosted two of the best experts to address the challenges of the hybrid workplace, Julie Kantor and Felice Ekelman. They are co-authors of the book that will provide the background to our discussion today: Thrive With A Hybrid Workplace: Step-by-Step Guidance from the Experts.Shownotes:0:00 | Intro03:06 | Old System VS New System: Work-life Balance & Remote Work During the Pandemic09:55 | Hybrid Work and Leadership in a Post-Pandemic World14:02 | Hybrid Model: Nine to Five Model is Gone16:42 | Hybrid Workplace: Seven Seas Framework22:53 | Hybrid Policy: How Are We Managing Change?24:50 | Culture of change: Importance of Face-to-Face Connection28:07 | Communication, Collaboration, and Leadership in a Hybrid Work Environment34:46 | Coaching as a Fundamental Part of the Hybrid37:27 | Smart Goals: Well-Being in the Workplace38:48 | Productivity in the Hybrid Workspace41:34 | Hybrid Workspace: Compliance Load46:12| Wrap up: Where are we heading?

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with TJ Jiang, the Co-Founder and CEO of AvePoint, a company at the forefront of SaaS operations and cybersecurity. With an esteemed client list including the U.S. Department of State, NASA, Ikea, and Bloomberg, AvePoint is the critical infrastructure for optimizing the hybrid workforce, data management, and secure collaboration. The conversation with TJ offers an in-depth exploration of modern technology's multifaceted challenges and opportunities. TJ starts by delineating the growth trajectory of SaaS applications, which have become indispensable for modern enterprises. Given AvePoint's client base of over 17,000 worldwide, his insights are backed by hands-on experience and a broad spectrum of case studies. Data sprawl, a natural byproduct of our digital age, becomes the next focal point of the discussion. TJ delves into how this complexity can be managed effectively, particularly in hybrid work environments. For organizations grappling with enormous and dispersed datasets, the debate around data sprawl is an invaluable guide. Artificial Intelligence, a recurring subject on Tech Talks Daily, is another major topic. TJ expresses a nuanced view of the burgeoning field, highlighting its transformative potential and the risks accompanying its widespread adoption. He presents a compelling argument for a balanced approach to AI, advocating for comprehensive strategies that weigh both its opportunities and challenges. As the conversation turns to cybersecurity, TJ's insights become especially salient. With ransomware attacks and cyber threats regularly making headlines, he provides actionable tips on how individuals and organizations can mitigate risks. These insights stem from AvePoint's extensive network of over 3,500 managed service providers and its continuous endeavor to stay ahead of the technological curve. To round off this insightful dialogue, Neil and TJ discuss the future of the hybrid work model and how AvePoint plans to evolve its solutions to meet the ever-changing demands of this paradigm. The episode makes it abundantly clear that while technology offers unprecedented benefits, it also presents a labyrinth of challenges that demand robust, multifaceted solutions.
