Makers and managers are locked in a productivity power struggle where the battleground is the calendar and diminished focus and lost hours are what’s at stake.

While managers and makers across companies often agree there’s a problem, they’ve simply added band-aid fixes like “No Meeting Tuesdays” or “Work from Home Wednesdays”. 

Offices have been built around the needs of managers at the expense of makers; the move to remote work offers a rare opportunity to shift the balance.
