165: Return to office is coming... here's how to set your team up for success

Not a week goes by where a company isn't announcing new return to office plans. Whether you are in favor of it or not, as a manager, if your company is enforcing it, it is part of your job to get your team onboard. 

But I get that is easier said than done ;)

In this episode, I share a pitfall to avoid when talking about return to office and how to get your teams excited about the potential of it.
