Are Your People Really Happy With Remote Work?

Jeff Havens — Mon, 03 May 2021 15:20:05 +0000

In the last few months I’ve read countless articles and had dozens of conversations with people regarding the reality of remote work. For the most part, there seems to be no good consensus. Some people seem to love it and other people hate it, still other people like it a little but don’t want to…

Results Vs. Process – What Matters More?

Jeff Havens — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 15:35:18 +0000

There are hundreds of arguments that divide us. Soda vs. pop, potato vs. potato – that one makes more sense when you can hear it – red state vs. blue state, and I could go on. I myself have been involved in endless arguments with people about exactly which animal is the cutest one alive…
