In short, the shift to working from home during the pandemic has humanized the workplace in a way that team building offsites never could. When does it make more sense for people to work from home long-term? At the same time, it’s devalued the sizzle of appearances and raised the value of the steak of getting stuff done.

That’s a longer-term problem because people need connection to be at their best. Prior to the pandemic, I regularly saw organizations where the norm was for leaders to go long on reality and short on hope. The way we’ve been working for the past year leads us to default to just getting the work done in a very transactional manner.
