The Real RTO Debate: Trust, Control, and the Future of Work


Listen Later

Is the return-to-office debate really about productivity—or is it about power? In this episode of The Career Pivot Accelerator, we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s really going on behind all the RTO noise. From CEOs clinging to control to employees craving purpose and autonomy, we explore how the hybrid work model can be a game-changer—if it’s done right.

Join me as I break down the trust vs. control dynamic shaping leadership in 2025. You’ll hear:

✅ Why the loudest voices in the office aren’t always the leaders

✅ How poor leadership shows up when people are back in person

✅ The difference between physical presence and meaningful collaboration

✅ A fresh take on hybrid work using the “Main Street vs. Mall” metaphor

✅ What thriving companies are doing right now to stay agile, connected, and effective

Whether you’re a finance professional navigating leadership missteps or a team lead looking to build a culture of trust—you’ll walk away with real insights you can apply today.
