"The future of work will be defined by the future of living.

ㅤ

As individuals shift to optimize their lives for living as opposed to a commutable distance from an office, they'll prioritize elements such as nature, community, and proximity to family. These shifts will redefine how we collaborate, informally communicate, and drive results, creating product-market fit for new tools and technologies that are purpose built for global teams.

ㅤ

This will drive greater recognition and reliance on

asynchronous workflows, employers who enable culture to be built outside of the workplace, and greater geographic diversity.

It will force us to communicate with more empathy and richer context. It will enable clearer thinking and more avenues for feedback. It will facilitate more inclusive workplaces, where introverts and extroverts are able to contribute naturally while advancing their careers."

"The most recent adaptation of remote work exposed the world to the power of location independence. The next frontier is far more powerful — time independence — which is only unlocked when progress is decoupled from linear time.

For every company insisting on a return to office, there’s a company with no physical headquarters. For every team suffering through meeting overload, there’s a team recording their meetings to be watched later at 1.5x speed. For every founder based in a “tech hub” city, there are a hundred others in cities, towns and villages around the world.

ㅤ

Those who succeed in the next decade will have an iterative mindset, an empowered team, and a bias for action. Change happens slowly, then suddenly."
