Asking How to Get Back to Work is the Wrong Question
I’ve been noticing an onslaught of leadership articles around how to lead and coach a team “back” to work as we emerge from lockdown. The reality is we never moved away from work. In fact, I would argue that our team couldn’t have worked any harder over the last 15 months. Did we do it…
