Disaster Avoidance Experts

Greetings Decision maker,


Picture this: You’ve just spent a year working remotely, and now your company is transitioning to a hybrid work model. Yet they’ve not asked you to help create this model: no surveys, no focus groups, no all-hands meetings where you had a voice. How would you feel? Probably the way many employees at Amazon, Starbucks, Disney, Apple, and Lyft do: outraged and frustrated, resistant and noncompliant.


It’s crucial for leaders to let their employees co-create the hybrid work model, as I always tell my clients, in the return to office. Why? Because engagement, retention, and productivity are at stake – and that means the future of your company.

Your Testimonials


You and others who gain value from Disaster Avoidance Experts services and thought leadership occasionally share testimonials about your experience, such as the one below. You can read more testimonials here.

I didn't know what to do about returning to the office. On the one hand, the large majority of my employees wanted to work from home and only come to the office when needed. On the other hand, my peer executives from other companies were telling me that I needed to return everyone back to the office at least a few days a week for the sake of effective collaboration, innovation, and company culture. That put my goals of retention and recruitment against the goals of company culture and productivity. My consulting with Dr. Gleb provided clarity on the issue. His expertise in the future of work, especially in returning to the office and leading hybrid and remote teams, enabled me to make an effective strategic decision going forward. He provided invaluable insights on how to optimize collaboration, innovation, productivity, and company culture in a home-centric, remote-first company.

What's Up With Me


Today I want to share about the benefits of generative AI that I wish I didn't have to rely on. I recently had my regular annual exam with a new primary care doctor, since my previous doctor retired. The doctor said that my bloodwork was fine, but I noticed that a couple of numbers were outside the normal range. Just in case, I decided to put the results into ChatGPT, and guess what? It told me that the lab results may indicate a problem with my liver. When I asked my doctor about it, he hemmed and hawed and admitted that there might be an issue. He said I should come in to repeat the blood tests, and the numbers were high again. He then said that I should get a liver ultrasound, which I did yesterday. As I await the results - and look for a new doctor - I'm grateful to have access to ChatGPT.
