A very pertinent article on work from home given the current circumstances. Totally in concurrence with the fact that while it is certainly helping to keep the engine running it is not something sustainable in the long run. The multitude of advantages that you get with physical meetings is far too many for it to get completely grounded.
WFH was lucrative for the first few months but many have started craving for their respective office spaces.
I for one have never been a proponent for WFH and thankfully due to my line of business have continued my office sojourn.
Another great Sunday read! The facts of historical things is just worth pondering ... also the ending with Shakespeare is just so apt!
The piece on leadership and work from hone tucked neatly in between is really spot on! The statement about home not really being work and the feeling of being grounded is so relatable... it’s a dilemma faced so much every day!
Your piece on WFH was ‘spot on’- the right subject at the right time. Yes, the transition from ‘take office home’ to ‘take office back to office’ is crucial at this time. While there’s a lot going for WFH, but it’s no brainer to say that its efficacy depends on the kind of work and the industry you are in. The link on Work From Home Policy: A Definitive Guide For Managers was useful. In fact I forwarded it to my HR head. Thank you Pras.
On Potpourri. For every idom that says one thing, you can, in many cases, find another that means just the opposite. The example, on valour, quoted by you is very illustrative of this fact.
However, the quote on Leadership by Alexander the great was a gem. I have always been enamoured by Gandhiji’s quotes. For example the one where he said “There are many causes I would die for. There is not a single cause I would kill for.” Similarly the quote “They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then they will have my dead body, but not my obedience.” Many would say that this as great to talk but here was a person who literally walked the talk and proved many times over, in his life, that this was no idle talk.
Thanks for providing something for me to mull over this weekend.
