If you want to radically change when and where work happens in your organization while still achieving results, you also have to change the very definition of “work” itself, moving it away from surveillance and visible busyness, and toward defined outcomes and trust.
— from How to achieve sustainable remote work by Cal Newport
From yesterday’s blog post (which you can find here, in case you missed it), I talked about how a results-oriented workplace allows you to maximize your autonomy. However, like all systems, agreed-upon goals are as essential as trusting your people to really do the work they need to do.
Working on a project with leaders who know which way to go allows you to see the end of the tunnel even if you are just about to start the journey. You may be uncertain (yet) about the nitty-gritty details of how to get there, but just knowing where to go and what you want to achieve makes all the difference.
