"4 lessons the pandemic taught us about work, life and balance" by Patty McCord "I've spent the last couple of years traveling around the world giving talks to big corporations and little start-ups and lots of leadership teams and women's groups. And I've been trying really hard to convince people that we can change the way we work. But every time I do a talk, somebody comes backstage or follows me offstage and says, "You know, I'm so inspired by what you say. It's so great, it makes so much sense. But we can't." "We can't because we're regulated." "We can't because our CFO says we can't do it." "We can't because we're in Europe." “We can’t because we’re a service industry.” "We can't because we're a nonprofit." And then last year came the pandemic. And the pandemic changed everything all over the world. Service people started realizing that they had to suit up and wear masks and take temperatures and wash their hands. We had to start standing six feet apart. All that muscle around innovation and flexibility and creativity that we didn't think we had, we had all along."
