Greetings Decision maker,
As a manager, leading a reshuffled hybrid team after layoffs can be a challenging task. The team dynamic has changed, and employees may be feeling uncertain, anxious or even resentful about the changes. This can affect their motivation and productivity, which can lead to decreased morale, lower job satisfaction and eventually, high turnover. It can be even more difficult when the layoffs happened in a less-than-empathetic manner, such as many prominent tech companies – Google, Twitter, Amazon, Meta, and others – recently laying off their employees by email.
However, with the right approach, managers can navigate this difficult situation and keep their teams motivated and productive.

"I want to express my sincere appreciation for the training that Dr. Gleb put together for our group as a train-the-trainer on hybrid work. We really took a lot from it and found it really valuable. Two of the key areas for us were the way that it provided some very practical advice on how to operationalize hybrid work and train our supervisors on the approach related to that, as well as the insights related to data. And really connecting that and laying a foundation for our supervisors to really understand the impact that hybrid work is having and the way that the best practices are supported based on the
research and the studies that are currently happening. We took a lot from it and really appreciate the investment and the time."
Marisol Larez, Chief Administrative Officer at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies

Being vulnerable by sharing a story of a bad decision I made recently during my trip to Hawai’i to help facilitate strategic planning for Norpac Fisheries Export. I took a week-long vacation before the event, given it’s Hawai’i 🙂 On the day when Agnes, my business partner and wife, was tired after a late evening snorkel adventure to check out manta rays up close (totally awesome and worth it), I went alone to check out some petroglyphs at the Puako Petroglyph Archaeological Preserve on the Big Island of Hawai'i. The trail description said “the site is unpaved and goes through a kiawe forest with thorns on
the ground” and advised wearing good shoes - fortunately, I had my hiking shoes, so the wrong shoes wasn’t the bad decision. The problem is that the trail is really hard to see in some places, as you can tell from the picture below with the kiawe trees - which had thorns as long as several inches. At one point, I wasn’t sure where the trail was, so I stopped to look around. Behind me, there was another hiker who confidently skipped me and walked onward. I figured he knew what he was doing and followed him.
Dear reader, in fact he didn’t know what he was doing. We stepped off the trail and wandered around thorn-covered underbrush for nearly an hour before finding the trail again. Even though I was wearing hiking shoes, some thorns were long enough that they went through the sole of my shoe and into my foot. Fortunately, I had a medical kit that included a utility tool with pliers on hand. My feet are still ouchy, unfortunately, but such is life. I’ll be much more cautious in trusting others who appear confident in the future: I already do so in professional settings, of course, but I learned I have insufficiently generalized this knowledge to daily life settings.
