? Swoosh ? Hammer ? Better ? Drifting ? Connect ?

No time for chitter-chatter. Busy week, running behind. Still counting this as Friday, in the context of this week's Friday Five, five posts that touched a nerve with my community this week

Nick on Nike Swoosh of Work from Home

I call it the Nike Swoosh of 'work from home.' In the short run, drop a little bit, but long run it's going to be up. If I was a CEO, CFO, CHRO, planning, I would plan for that - Nick Bloom

Don't let the Labor Day mandates fool you, a little dip perhaps the trend line is solidly up and to the right, especially when you look out 5 to 10 years.

30 Minute Hammer

Meetings should be to decide, debate, discuss or develop people - Brian Elliott

What's old is new again. Text to check availability, then pick up the phone during mutually agreed synchronous collaboration windows and solve the problem in 5 minutes today. Yes, I said synchronous. Agreed to time, just for this purpose. No interruptions, because that's the purpose of the window.

Drifting Apart

The relationship between employee and employer is less bound together by a common mission and purpose - Jim Harter

Excerpt from Are Remote Workers and Their Organizations Drifting Apart? by Jim Harter , Workplace, Gallup Workplace , Gallup - Click Here

I see the irony, a look of concern contrasting to Nellie's bright smile above. Not really a surprise with more work being pushed to gig and 1099 workers.

Psychology and Storytelling - programming and connection

Psychology is the programming of our brain. Storytelling is how we connect with each other. That's relevant in pretty much every industry - Amina Moreau

Friday's fading, time to post, listen to the clip, will give you a bit of insight into what makes Amina tick.

It’s like Airbnb and WeWork had a baby but with less drama - Amina Moreau

Excited to release Amina Moreau: Intentionality, Optionality, Mindset | Work 20XX podcast with Jeff Frick, Ep19. Amina brings a completely different perspective to the world of work, and the role of flexible real estate assets, an increasingly important, and sized slice of the pie. Space a service in the form of commute-free residences and/or employee experience and offsite options, Radious is solving their slice with a slightly different recipe.
