Delighted to be featured in this The Globe and Mail piece on the challenges leaders face with leading teams in a hybrid work environment.   In addition to describing why it’s important for leaders to get comfortable using the communication channels their employees use to share and collaborate, I spoke about why leaders should not treat in-office days as just another work day.   So here's some things leaders should consider implementing on in-office days to maximize the benefits of a hybrid work approach: 📌 Promote collaborative efforts by scheduling team meetings with detailed agendas of issues to discuss for complex problem-solving and brainstorming sessions. 📌Organize training sessions and workshops to help employees develop new skills and to promote shared learning. 📌Offer activities to promote team cohesion and bonding. For example, use these in-office days to celebrate key milestones and to inform the team of progress to date to drive motivation. 📌Support mentoring and other activities that benefit most from in-person contact. 📌Encourage social interactions to combat any feelings of isolation or loneliness that can arise from working remotely. My thanks to Nicole Edwards and The Globe and Mail team for the opportunity to share my perspective on this issue. #leadership #hybridwork #teamwork #collaboration #communication

 This is a great post. When I think of how this relates to our work around psychological safety the first thing that comes to mind is the degree of psychological safety needed for strategic vs process driven innovation. Although it’s not absolutely true, strategy requires a lot more willingness to suspend judgment when considering various paths forward. Process can often have components that are more predictable. In both cases the ability to innovate requires psychological safety, high standards and a process that includes planned experimentation. Smart risk taking is an art and a science.

Culture is not what you say you are but what you do. A checklist of behaviours will not magically transform your organization. Real-world business isn’t a neatly packaged case study. It’s messy, chaotic, and full of unpredictability. Ben Horowitz says to be consistent, tell stories, lead by example, and create culture through design rituals. Let’s be honest—how many leaders are actually good storytellers? Most of them can barely make it through a PowerPoint presentation without putting everyone to sleep. The idea that stories will somehow permeate through the layers of a corporation and change behaviours is ... is well, it's corporate Kool-Aid. Employees need clear directives, fair policies, and tangible rewards for their efforts. Leaders in the trenches don’t have time to set perfect examples—they're laser-focused on strategic decisions aligned with quarterly OKRs, ensuring the main thing remains the main thing. They're driving towards the end goal with relentless focus, and while they strive to uphold their culture through their actions, the intense pressure and constant demands mean they might occasionally fall short. It’s in these moments of challenge that true culture is revealed—not in perfection, but in the unwavering commitment to get back on track and realign actions with values, proving that culture is indeed what you do, even when it's tough. So how can you shift your culture? Culture is something that is woven throughout the fabric of your organization. It's in your sales documents. It's on the wall of the office. It's part of the onboarding process for new employees. But culture is subject to the Law of Entropy (the Second Law of Thermodynamics). This implies that systems naturally progress towards a state of disorder or chaos unless energy is added to maintain order. Designing culture isn’t a one-off task; it’s an ongoing commitment. Culture evolves, and you need to be vigilant. Are you continuously reinforcing the right behaviours? If you’re not embodying the culture you want to see, you’re a fraud. Most of you are failing at culture.
