Where performance takes place doesn’t matter. What matters? The value it creates for the customer. *We’ve confused presence with productivity and confused collaboration with convening.* In a Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE), performance isn’t measured by time-in-seat or office optics—it’s measured by outcomes. Whether you're shipping code from your couch or brainstorming a campaign at 35,000 feet, it’s the result that counts. *Customers don’t care if your idea came from a boardroom, bedroom, or beach—they care that it works, scales, and solves.* Collaboration should be frictionless, asynchronous when possible, and ruthlessly focused on delivering impact—not performance theater. So the next time someone asks, “But where are people collaborating?” Ask them back: “What are they actually producing?” 📍 Location is logistics. ✅ *Results are reality.* *[![
