Julia Hobsbawm: Reimagining workplaces

Lancefield on the Line

How do you create the best places to work? This is a question many leaders are asking themselves as they figure out new hybrid environments. To do this, they need to understand the features and characteristics of high performing workplaces and the enabling organisational culture.

In this podcast, Julia Hobsbawm, author of The Nowhere Office and Bloomsburg columnist, gives her insights into the workplace revolution. She shares her thoughts on where work is heading and how leaders need to listen, ask and iterate to create the conditions for high performance.
“There is no hard and fast fixed rule or model anymore. This is what's scaring the pants off people.”
– Julia Hobsbawm
