Episode Preview:
What do you see in the virtual versus hybrid versus working all in person five days a week old school?
“I mean, it sounds like we’re seeing a lot of similar things, right? Like, the thing about virtual is we’ve looked, we’ve learned we can do business this way. There’s no question that we have learned things about it. What the challenge is, is that we don’t do relationships well this way. And business is fundamentally about relationships, whether it’s relationships with your clients relationships with your team, and the nature of Zoom or tea or teams or any of this stuff is it lends itself to kind of more transactional relationships and transactional relationships are you know, you can again, you can exchange things you can exchange information, you can exchange dollars, money, but the best relationships are not transactional. They’re they’re really about getting to know the person and the medium doesn’t lend itself to that. And so one of the reasons we’ve been so busy with a lot of these, either fully remote companies or companies that are hybrid is that we take bring the teams together and try to help them stitch their relationships together in a limited period of time, which is critical for their businesses.
…
The answer is hybrid. There’s, there’s no question like, I mean, if we can do if everyone can be together, that’s the best of all worlds. But the reality is that we’ve gotten used to doing something different. And we realize it’s actually more efficient for certain types of work to be on your own to not you don’t have to be in the office. But to not be in the office at all is a disaster. So I can say that very clearly that hybrid is as much in-person time as is realistic for your particular culture is the answer.”
