The term ”proximity bias” has been around since the 1970s, but with the rise of remote and hybrid work, it’s reaching new heights. So, what is it exactly? Proximity bias (or distance bias) is the tendency of leaders to favor workers who are physically present or closer to them. If left unchecked, it can put remote workers at a significant disadvantage.

The future of work will not be determined by technology, but by creating the right mix of education, exposure, and experience needed to develop skills and put them to work, creating a vastly more productive workplace and economy.

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes, and one of the most common ways they are recognized is by their title. Titles like CEO, manager, or supervisor are used to indicate a person’s level of authority and responsibility within an organization. However, it is important to remember that a title is not what makes a leader, it’s the actions and behavior of the person that hold the title that truly determine their effectiveness as a leader.

In their new book, Move Fast and Fix Things, Frances Frei and Anne Morriss outline five strategies to help leaders tackle their hardest problems and quickly make change. Their second strategy is to build — or rebuild — trust with your stakeholders. This means they need to believe three things: that you care about them (empathy), that you’re capable of meeting their needs (logic), and that you can be expected to do what you say you’ll do (authenticity).

Character is essential to leadership because it is the foundation that builds trust with followers. A leader’s good character is what earns the respect and loyalty of those they lead. Without trust, a leader cannot be effective in influencing and guiding their team. In today’s society, where individualism is highly valued, it’s important to remember the importance of character in leadership.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
