For a moment, don't think about flexible schedules, W.F.H., remote work, hybrid, Four day workweek, R.T.O., real estate, how many hours someone is or isn't working, where someone is or is not working from.
Instead, really think about this question:
What is the work?
Now follow up with these:
What does the customer/client need/want?
What is the scope?
What does success look like?
What is the impact?
What resources are needed?
Who needs to be involved and when?
What are the incremental timelines or ultimate deadline that need to be met?
What are the metrics for the duration of the work and the delivery of it?
Mindset shift + Relentless pursuit of results
