@heylgo: Boomers and Gen X learned to manage by walking around. If they didn’t see you, they assumed you weren’t working. When I ran my executive search firm, we were fully remote for 15 years—long before it was “COVID cool.” No Zoom. Barely the internet. People constantly asked, “But Laura, how do you know your team is working?” Wild concept: I judged their work… by the quality of their work. Not hours in a seat. Results. If you’re Gen Z or Millennial dealing with a boss who’s obsessed with butts-in-seats, ask these questions. Do you think most bosses manage by “face time” or by outcomes? #worktok #leadership #genz #millennial #remotework
