Greetings Decision maker,
The decision on long-term return to office and hybrid work arrangements is no small matter. It’s like choosing between a thrilling roller coaster ride and a serene Ferris wheel experience – there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. As a leader, making the right choice for your organization’s RTO strategy is crucial, but haste makes waste. That’s why you need a thorough, transparent, and evidence-driven process to avoid potential pitfalls and ensure success.
Imagine throwing a dart at a dartboard, blindfolded, while standing on a skateboard. This is what making a rushed decision on office and hybrid work arrangements looks like. You might hit the bullseye, but chances are, you’ll miss the mark. A hurried decision can lead to a myriad of problems, including undermining retention, recruitment, engagement, productivity, development of junior staff, innovation, collaboration, and culture.

“I wanted to thank you for speaking recently at our Spring 2024 National Legal Malpractice Conference. We really enjoyed having you and hearing you discuss proximity bias. It was really a worthwhile event and conversation for our panel who really didn't know a great deal about it or a lot of the implications related to it. We really appreciated all the energy and obvious underlying knowledge that you have related to the topic. All of our panelists really enjoyed hearing from you, our guests enjoyed hearing from you, and we look forward to working with you again.”
Jay Reyes, Chief Counsel at the American Bar Association |

What's Up With Me
It’s strawberry season at the Tsipursky-Vishnevkin household (yes, both my wife and I kept our last names when we got married, and we’d have to put some thought into a last name for our children if we ever have any, which is not currently in our plans). Strawberries are the first fruit crop of the season, and I’m excited that all the effort we put into them over the last several years is paying off. We bought a few small strawberry plants, and planted them in what was approximately one-tenth of our current strawberry patch, which you can see in the photo below. Then, over the course of several years, we expanded the patch and encouraged the strawberry plants to take over the larger area (it’s pretty easy to do, they’re excellent multipliers and send out plenty of runners). Now we’re enjoying the fruits of our labor, as you can see in the second photo below: the season's first harvest was over 5 cups.
It’s truly rewarding to enjoy something you invested several years of effort and patience into and finally get to reap the rewards of that investment. This is a part of my broader philosophy of having a five-year time horizon, trying to make investments that will pay off in the next five years. Beyond that, the horizon is too uncertain (I don't know whether I will still live in this house in five years or whether I keep being interested in strawberries, etc.). And a shorter time horizon inhibits worthwhile long-term investments that pay off if we delay gratification and push toward the future. What’s your own time horizon and why did you choose it?
