"Research has determined that in terms of productivity, employees working from home (WFH) got more done than ever before, often working longer hours than ever before; and they now want the freedom and the flexibility to continue to WFA (work from anywhere). However, for many "command-and-control"-style managers who were used to MBWA (managing by walking around), they desire to have their people return to the office as soon as possible because it makes it easier on them than dealing with the complexities of a hybrid workforce ... even if that's not what their people want. But the bottom line is that the cat is out of the bag, the genie is out of the bottle, the toothpaste is out of the tube, and the train has left the station. Whatever metaphor you choose to use, leaders and organizations who fail to acknowledge this new reality do so at their own peril."
