The executive hubris driving five-day in-office mandates
Some high-profile CEOs are demanding full returns with a "command-and-control" mindset.
Hasnain says:
“Some experts, including Stephen Meier, chair of the management division at Columbia Business School in New York, remain genuinely baffled why companies like UPS are putting up a fight over return-to-office. But he believes there's a common thread among many of these firms: hard-line management tactics.
"You can't continue that leadership style that you had before [the pandemic]," he says. "You need to actually empower [employees] … And, I think, some leaders are just used to a certain command-and-control model."
This is true of many outspoken critics of remote work, such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk”
