Jody was recently interviewed by Lee Schafer of the Star Tribune for a story, “Work from home is not about the place.” They discuss the massive shift to remote work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also dig deeper into why remote work is not a strategy and managers are missing opportunities to help guide successful performance.
“Work from home hasn’t changed anything,” Thompson said. “People think it’s changed everything, but again, we’re not changing how we manage. And if it was a real change and it was better, [companies] wouldn’t be trying to figure out how to get everybody back in the office.”
