Although perhaps my favourite:

"When people aren’t in the office, it’s harder to command and control. Leaders can’t intimidate by hovering over cubicle desks and slamming doors. They can’t establish their dominance by summoning people to a conference room and pounding their fists on the table. They can’t even make direct eye contact to stare people down"

Choose wisely (with your feet) who you're working for👌🏻😎

A couple of noteworthy quotes:

"They see any kind of remote work as a threat to their authority and admiration. They want to be worshipped at the office altar"

"[…] self-centered leaders tend to struggle with the idea of employees making independent choices about where to work"

Like I said, incredibly useful reminder showcasing some early signs to watch out for when working with sociopaths / psychopaths

@Valdis It's more difficult, indeed, to be a bully, or a narcissist, when #DistanceWorking. If anything, because it's usually well documented, therefore, easily audited, and also out in the open for everyone to see when someone is an ars*h*le.

I don't know whether Zoom does have that feature, but I think it'd be rather useful. Instead of a green check to indicate Web presence, something to flag their bullish behaviour for all to see & remember👌🏻😅

"We taught the remote workers to be proactive about communicating with their group members; not to wait in hopes of receiving calls. Often, you can tell whether someone is feeling well or poorly just by the tone of voice. We taught the managers of remote workers to check that effective communications were happening"

Oooh, for those at the back ... Jack coined #Telework in 1973!!! 😍👍🏻

Does that ring a bell? 🤯👉🏻 #EnergyCrisis

“When employees know that recovery is valued rather than merely permitted, they return more focused, more engaged and better equipped to do their best work. […] these practices communicate something critical about organizational culture. They tell employees that leadership recognizes they are human beings, not simply units of output”

From de- to re-humanisation of the workplace 💪🏻😎

A couple of noteworthy quotes from that article, worth while reflecting some more on:

“[…] cognitive restoration is not a luxury, but rather a prerequisite for sustained performance. Human beings are simply not able to operate at peak intensity indefinitely. Periods of recovery improve attention, creativity, motivation, decision-making and overall job performance”
