Why Fully Remote Work Will Win This Fall (Wise Decision Maker Guide 73)

Greetings Decision maker,

The monumental battle over fully remote work is heating up this summer as more traditionalist business leaders are demanding that their employees come to the office much or all of the time.

Google maps workers, asked to come back to the office full-time recently, fought back with a petition and threats of a strike, and won a reprieve of 90 days. Elon Musk demanded that all Tesla staff come to the office full-time despite insufficient spaces at Tesla offices, resulting in Tesla staff getting recruited by other companies. Apple employees are pushing back publicly against the leadership’s demand for three days in the office, with a recent letter saying “stop treating us like school kids who need to be told when to be where and what homework to do.”

The same struggles are happening at smaller US companies, as well as across the globe. Yet what these traditionalist executives are failing to realize is that the drama, stress, and tensions caused by their demands won’t matter. Fully remote work will win this fall.

What's Up With Me

Had a wonderful time in Chicago giving the opening keynote at a major Future of Work conference, WORKTECH22, to over a hundred leaders who are defining the future of work. Such an exciting time - full of possibilities as we are reshaping how we think about the office and making the location of work irrelevant. It’s all about what we do, how we do it, and with whom - not where.

And yes, I had plenty of deep dish pizza while I was there. First, regular deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati’s, then stuffed deep dish at Nancy’s pizzeria - both iconic Chicago chains.

I also enjoyed taking walks around the city, admiring the architecture and the skyline. Chicago is beautiful!

Recommendations for You

Here are a few pieces of content that I found valuable and hope you will, too:

“An In-The-Box Method for Creative Problem Solving” (article) tells the story of a scientist who uncovered that inventors were unknowingly using the same solutions over and over again, with the same fundamental question in one area being addressed by multiple technical inventions in another. The article describes his method for a universal pattern of technical problem solving.
“How to be a little less judgmental” (article) shares how to address the intuitive tendency among many people to judge others too quickly.
“When do ideas get easier to find?” (article) helps explain a major puzzle in scientific progress in the last several decades. We have more scientists working on research than ever, but we seem to not be making progress nearly as fast. The article proposes that having a more interdisciplinary and playful approach would greatly facilitate innovation.

Hope you find these recommendations helpful!
