The belief that managing people’s time generates high-quality business results is flawed.

At some point in the past, it was effective. We had to go to the office because that’s where everything was; the fax machine, the landline, and the micromanager.

People couldn’t work virtually. There was no virtual. You had to be in a physical space.

Over time, this presented a problem, as time became the justifier of results. Leaders believed when you’re at work, you’re working.

This became ineffective. People began to play presentism and got used to a low-morale culture.

People want to work and live, but much of their life is controlled by time restrictions placed on them by a company.

Well, time is changing:

Companies will no longer be the ruler of time.

In a remote work world, people will have control over their own time.

“Understanding and adopting the Value Economy means breaking the one-to-one relationship between the hours worked and value created,” teaches David Finkel. People are responsible adults who should have the freedom to work when, where, and how they want.
