The Future of Success Balances Productivity with Human Connection

My Conversation with John Wichmann

John Wichmann and I had a great conversation about how work is changing, especially with hybrid models becoming more common. We dug into the challenges and opportunities remote work has created, thanks to the pandemic shaking everything up. John really drove home the point that a purpose-driven workplace is now more important than ever—not just for the business but for the people who work there. But he didn’t stop at purpose. He also talked about the need for visibility and accountability, especially when some of your team is remote. It’s easy for people to drift without that, and it’s tough for managers to know what’s going on. As we wrapped up, we looked to the future. It’s clear that companies need to find the right balance—keeping people productive while making sure they’re happy. The ones that get this right are the ones that will thrive. How do you keep purpose and connection alive in a remote or hybrid workplace? Comment on LinkedIn.
