RTO mandates won't solve your productivity problem. They'll make it worse

Execs think bringing people back to the office means 9-to-5 focus.
But people have always been working in flexible blocks, long before the rise of remote work.

Even in the office, employees still have to balance life demands against their job.

The real issue was never WHERE people worked.
The real issue, it seems, is that companies don't trust people to manage their own time.

When you try to control every minute, you accelerate burnout.

Smart leaders already know this.
They're managing outcomes, not hours.

The future of work is letting people structure work around life, not the other way around.

Are you managing time or managing results?
