Although remote and hybrid work have been widespread for several years now, debates about the benefits and perils of these more flexible ways of working continue. A key reason is differing perspectives on how to prioritize necessary trade-offs. While much has been much written about the different perspectives of leaders and employees, one dimension that has received relatively little attention is if and how perceptions of hybrid work differ across geographies. In new research, the authors found some important differences leaders of global organizations and teams need to be aware of and act on.

When it comes to conversations about our workplace, it’s no surprise that a deeply personal element comes into play. You spend most of your waking hours at work and share moments in that time that few outside of your coworkers have context and understanding to. So it only makes sense that the organizations’ culture and the relationships you build at work can mirror those you find within a family context.

Managers have an opportunity to help expectant mothers even before employees go on parental leave, Babson Professor Danna Greenberg said.

Organizations have long seen middle management as ripe for cutting whenever times get tight, and the current moment is no exception. The authors believe that this is a costly mistake. Human capital, they say, is at least as important as financial capital, and middle managers, who recruit and develop an organization’s employees, are the most important asset of all—essential to navigating rapid, complex change. They can make work more meaningful, interesting, and productive, and they’re crucial for true organizational transformation. But if managers are to fulfill this promise, leaders must reimagine their roles, push to more fully understand their value, and train, coach, and inspire them to realize their potential as organizational linchpins.

Today’s guest is Scott Hamilton, an Olympic gold medalist and founder of the Scott Hamilton Cares Foundation, an organization that is working to eliminate cancer. Now, Scott obviously doesn’t need much of an introduction. You already know about his gold medal and figure skating. You probably have seen his incredible backflips on the ice. And you have likely watched him as a commentator on the Olympics over the years. And while you may know him for his successes, you may not know about the challenges that he’s had to overcome to win. His childhood illness, cancer, multiple brain tumors, the times he’s fallen on the ice in critical situations. Scott says any goal will always have obstacles, difficulties and setbacks. You will be defined not by those setbacks, but by how you respond to them. There’s so much that we can learn from Scott about how to get up after we all fall and let me tell you something, we all do.
