David Burkus, author of Leading from Anywhere – The Essential Guide for Managing Remote Teams, shares his expertise about new ways of working from anywhere, measuring productivity and managing people. Presence is NOT productivity. Responsiveness is NOT productivity. Could we work in an environment where everyone is welcome and no one is obligated?
According to Gallup, the most engaged employees are those that are out of the office 40-60% of the time. We need to find new ways to measure productivity in our knowledge based work economy. Furthermore, in the next year we will observe a social and work experiment like no other. There is no absolute right and wrong, only choices of being fluid and flexible. Leaders – get ready to have your employees work WITH you, instead of FOR you where ever their laps and laptops may be!
