Without knowing how the current health crisis will progress, leaders are scrambling to decide whether to reopen offices or to allow employees to continue to work from home. Many have landed somewhere in the middle with a hybrid model, neither 100% remote nor 100% in-person.

 

According to Robert Glazer, the hybrid model is both the most common choice and the riskiest. The risk lies in the temptation to adopt a hybrid model without outlining clear details. As he puts it, “Hybrid needs to be a strategy, not the absence of a strategy.”

 

In this week’s episode of The Enlightened Executive, we are joined by Robert Glazer to discuss the benefits and challenges of adapting a hybrid-work model. As the CEO of Accelerated Partners, Robert has successfully led a hybrid remote team for 14 years. His leadership has earned the company numerous industry and company culture awards, including Glassdoor’s Employees’ Choice Awards two years in a row.
