How to Get Your Team Back in the Office, Without a Mandate | Anschuetz on Leadership

The Big Themes:


Consistency: Companies that ask employees to give up the
benefits of remote work and come back to the office must also
require executives to do the same. Otherwise, trust disappears
and team members disengage.

Clarity, candor, transparency: Explaining the specific
benefits of returning to in-person work is essential. Saying that
productivity will go up is not enough—leaders must provide
examples, and help employees understand how their experience will
improve.

Culture and environment: The key to a successful move away
from all-remote work is to create an office environment that
people want to be part of. Starting at the very top, companies
must cultivate a positive and enriching in-person culture.



The Big Quote: "The reason why leadership is so hard is because
every day, every day as a leader, your job is to show up for
everybody but yourself. That's extraordinarily hard... If you are
not prepared to very literally show up for everyone else, then
you might want to think twice about bringing the workforce back
into the office."
