The Connected Leadership Podcast: 'The Nowhere Office' with Julia Hobsbawm OBE

Andy Lopata's guest on this week's Connected Leadership Podcast is Julia Hobsbawm OBE, speaker, entrepreneur and author of 'The Nowhere Office' book and podcast. A topical subject about changing working patterns and the impact on professional relationships. WFH has existed since the dawn of technology and the internet but the shifts and trends before the pandemic have now become reality. What does this mean for leaders and organisational behaviour? Julia sees it as the most important moment in the history of work in the last hundred years. The norm will be hybrid working, the way people use offices will change. Leaders and managers can embrace the change with flexibility and a boost to productivity. The office still has particular functions; networking, learning, mentoring, key meetings; the work can be done at home. There is a need for new strategies, new tactics.
