We, humans, love our tribes. If you’re in my tribe you’re granted an element of trust and acceptance, even value. If you’re out of my tribe you rarely receive that status, almost certainly not with equal value.

When Covid pushed us all into remote work – an accidental consequence occurred: On-Premises workers and remote workers all got pushed into the same tribe. We sat there looking at each other from the same piece of glass – like a Zoom version of the Brady Bunch. No one was perceived to have more “value” as a worker or a leader, because of their geographical location. Which, let’s face it, before the pandemic,  if you worked remotely, you WERE perceived to be less valuable and effective. This pandemic petri dish demonstrated being in the room didn’t make you a better or worse employee or leader, being skilled was the difference.
This week I’m joined by Sarah Keller. Sarah is the Head of Global Technology Sourcing and Supply Chain at Uber. Prior to Uber, she worked for organizations like Meta, Workday, and Google.
Sarah brings a powerful perspective to this conversation and the complexities of remote opportunity amidst return-to-work directives. An area that requires thoughtful and serious consideration. Please, enjoy the conversation with Sarah Keller.
