And that matters more than you think.
Right now, many employees feel uncertain, misunderstood, and undervalued because they're still being measured by outdated yardsticks—like visibility, hours spent at their desk, or their physical presence in meetings.
Meanwhile, the real drivers of value—like adaptability, strategic thinking, and effective collaboration—go unnoticed and unmeasured.
So let’s get uncomfortable for a moment and ask a critical question: "As a leader, what crucial information are you missing about how work is actually happening today—and what’s that costing your business?"
Consider how your decisions might change if you truly understood how people worked best in this new context. Imagine clearly seeing which teams thrive remotely, where AI could amplify performance, or where traditional methods are still essential. Picture how that clarity would enable smarter decisions about talent, technology, and strategy.
This isn't theoretical—it’s the kind of insight that separates businesses stuck in the past from those shaping the future. When you finally see work for what it actually is today—and not what it used to be—you unlock the ability to build a workplace that attracts talent, retains your best people, and performs at a level your competitors can’t match.
The bottom line: You can’t lead effectively if you're operating with yesterday’s assumptions. It's time to close that information gap and see work clearly for the reality it is today—and will become tomorrow.

Are You Still Seeing Work Like It’s 1995?
Think about it:
How different is your view of work today compared to how you saw it back in 1995?
Yes, the tools have changed—fewer fax machines, more AI—but have you really shifted your mindset about what "work" actually means? Or are you still relying on the same old assumptions, measures, and standards from a world that no longer exists?
Work isn’t just changing. It’s already changed.
Remote teams are normal, freelancers and contractors are essential, and AI isn’t optional—it’s baked into almost everything your business does. But here's the catch: Most senior leaders haven't adapted their perspective to match this new reality. They’re missing critical information about how their teams actually operate, collaborate, and deliver results in this radically different environment.
