#39 Wayne Turmel on Remote and Hybrid Work: Would you return to office 5 days a week?

Would you return to office 5 days a week?

Author of TheLong Distance Leader, Wayne Turmel and I dive into a crucial topic: long-distance leadership in an era where communication technology is rapidly evolving for both workers and leaders. Yes, you read that right—long-distance leadership, not long-distance relationships. Just like with any relationship, maintaining, nurturing, and fixing long-distance leadership is far from straightforward.

This conversation couldn’t be more timely. When we recorded this episode, Amazon’s CEO had just announced their RTO (Return to Office) policy for 2025,and so far, the media narrative surrounding it hasn’t been exactly positive.

How can Wayne and his team provide solutions as remote and hybrid work models continue to change shape?
