Transform your performance with lessons from the world’s best hybrid teams
We've just gone through one of the most massive inflection points in how we work. Yet we have continued to apply the same weak collaborative and outdated cultural practices that no longer correlate with the problems we face or the technologies we now have available to us. Debating how many days are required in the office is misplaced energy. Teams and leaders need to awaken to the realization that they need to change the way they work.
What is called for is new mindsets, processes and practices to close the gap in an increasingly volatile and fragmented world.
Despite what we experienced in the past two years, we continued holding onto many of the old, damaging myths associated with work and slipping back into old ways because we never truly leveraged the great hybrid work laboratory we had in front of us. Sure, more organizations are using remote tools and even admitting that remote work is possible, but too often we just ported the old ways of doing things into remote work. We shifted where we worked, but not how. The result is massive, undiagnosed organizational angst and fatigue moving, unprepared, from the pandemic to an economic crisis.
The question is: Do you want to step up and be a disruptor ahead of the curve or will you miss that opportunity, waste money, and risk that your fast-growth, more nimble competitors disrupt you?
Learn the lessons from companies we have studied and rank on a World Class Hybrid Maturity Index. To begin your journey, this whitepaper addresses some of the basic elements of three of key interventions:
- Meeting shifting
- Bond building
- Energy creation.
These three transformative areas will relieve teams of much of their current suffering as we head out of the global pandemic and toward the next global challenge.
It's a reinvention, a reboot of mindsets, processes, practices and tools. We need specific teams to awaken to the myths about work and the way that work can be transformed and to demonstrate the benefits for those to follow. It’s a fundamental refocus — a learning and definitely an unlearning. And if we don't do that, we'll lose our best employees. And we will continue to fatigue, fracture and frustrate our people. We will be just goddamn mediocre and the competition will do it to us.
Who will be the ones to ensure we go forward to work, not back?
Gain a Competitive Advantage by Embracing and Leveraging the Great Exploration
The Great Resignation is not an inexorable process but is the outcome of poor choices in the face of what’s actually going on, what Mike Clementi, Unilever’s executive vice president of human resources calls “The Great Exploration.”
The pandemic forced everyone to rethink their priorities and work-life balance. They’re exploring their options and resigning if their current job doesn’t offer what they’re looking for. This is only a crisis for leaders who misread or mismanage the moment. For everyone else, it’s an opportunity. Find out how you can stem the tide, nail hybrid, and also gain a:
- 79% increase in candor,
- 75% increase in development,
- 46% increase in collaboration,
- and a 44% increase in accountability
81% of leaders do not believe their teams are reaching their ultimate potential, and 71% of teams don’t believe they engage collaboratively on the most important issues.
"We’ve studied what unlocks team potential for more than twenty-one years.
At the height of the pandemic, our research institute went to work drilling down on what blocks most hybrid and remote teams from achieving organizational targets at speed with more than 2,000 executives.
We then took those practices and applied them in other diverse teams and measured if they got the same type of outcomes. Our research uncovered several vital areas holding teams back. It also revealed how to radically improve our new work normal."
Keith Ferrazzi, Founder Ferrazzi Greenlight

White Paper: New Research Shows How to Reclaim 30% of Your Life and Empower Hybrid Teams
Meetings have become our $283 billion habit of wasted time a year.

And these are the radically transformative results we see from the practices shared in this whitepaper:
- Reduce meetings by 30%
- Achieve a 75% increase in development
- Boost collaboration by 46%
- Profit from a 44% growth in accountability
What ERIC STARKLOFF, CEO, National Instruments said...
"The tangible change has been the ability to escalate and make critical business decisions faster, and ones that stick, because the process is collaborative and therefore the buy-in is higher. In the past, we thought collaborative decision-making and fast decision-making were at tension … There’s no way we would have been able to react with the sort of speed and get the sort of buy-in we see today. It was a breakthrough and realization that there are ways to run a remote forum that are motivating, create energy, and accomplishment."
