Episode 281. Remote work isn’t the problem—your leadership might be
This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for any leader still trying to drag their team back into the office—or manage remote work like it’s a surveillance state.
The truth? Remote and hybrid work aren’t going anywhere. But the old way of managing—hovering, second-guessing, and mistrusting your people—needs to go. In this episode, I’m unpacking why return-to-office mandates are flatlining, how flexibility can still come with structure, and what it actually looks like to treat your team like adults.
I share the policies that work for my agency, what we’ve tried (and ditched), and how leaning into trust, autonomy and clarity has led to a 4.6-year average retention rate—more than double the agency standard.
Tune in to rethink what work can, and should, look like when you build a culture of trust over control.
