Greetings Decision Maker,
The world has shifted in remarkable ways, and flexible work is an undeniable force reshaping professional life. Yet do remote and hybrid arrangements help the environment or lead to unintended consequences? A new study by Prof. Mark Ma at the University of Pittsburgh, Betty Xing at Baylor University and Ling Zhang at Rowan University merges commuting data with satellite-measured greenhouse gas emissions, offering clear insights into how workplace flexibility shapes entire metropolitan areas.

“Dr. Gleb Tsipursky presented “Help Clients Avoid Disasters Through Science-Based Decision-Making” to the International Coaches Federation of Columbus. He responded to every request I made for documents, etc., immediately. His presentation style is warm
and engaging. His presentation and slides were excellent. Even the most senior coaches (25+ years coaching experience) were really surprised and impressed with the information he gave us. Several want to see him again, and some even want an all day training session! He is a snap to work with, has very interesting scientific information, and is a delightful presenter. I highly recommend him!”

It’s not fun to have serious air travel delays, especially when the airline gives you false information. My wife and business partner, Agnes, and I were returning from Seattle to Columbus with a layover in Denver. When
we approached Denver, the airplane started circling due to a bad thunderstorm, and then the flight was diverted to Wichita for refueling. During the hour we spent waiting on the ground in Wichita, the flight attendants assured everyone on the plane that all flights out of Denver were on hold due to the weather, and that by the time we got back to Denver, everyone should be able to make their connecting flights. They even said that if this changed they would notify individual passengers on the flight. Well, by the time we flew back to Denver, we unfortunately discovered that our flight to Columbus had taken off over an hour earlier, despite the airline's assurances. They couldn’t reseat us on any flights that day, forcing us to spend the night in a hotel (which they were not willing to pay for, despite the false information they provided). While I won't name the airline, this is bad customer service that I will remember for a long time.
The lack of any apology for the false information is especially frustrating. It reminds me of how I learned to apologize profusely in the (fortunately infrequent, although not as rare as I'd like) instances when I mess up, and do my utmost to fix the situation. In one case, after a disastrous initial interaction with a CEO, when I messed up and inadvertently embarrassed them publicly, I apologized profusely and worked very hard to fix the situation. Fast forward a few months, and this CEO became one of my best clients! Apologies and working hard to fix the situation won’t always turn out this well, but you’ll be surprised how much benefit you get from avoiding defensiveness, listening, acknowledging fault, and working to correct the situation.
