Hybrid isn’t the answer. In fact, I would argue that when you ask an executive what “hybrid” means, mostly, it feels like they’re saying one thing: “We don’t really know.” When a company leader says that they have embraced a hybrid working model… or that hybrid is the future of…

Posting on social media about how “humbled” you are when something good happens to you (or you get some kind of attention) is analogous to “thoughts and prayers.” It’s time to put value ahead of self-promotion. Know this: I can be just as guilty in this activity as anyone else…
