Most leaders are still fighting yesterday's battles about remote work. But the conversation has already moved on.

A few leaders have figured out that this isn't a policy question - it's a talent question.

Today I'm joined by Professor Prithwiraj Choudhury, who recently moved from Harvard Business School to the London School of Economics. Raj has spent years studying what he calls "work from anywhere"—and his research shows this isn't about working from home. It's about fundamentally rethinking how you build and scale teams.

His book, The World is Your Office, reveals why the leaders who master this shift will have access to global talent pools while others remain stuck hiring from a single city.

TALKING POINTS:

Work from anywhere vs work from home - why the distinction matters for talent strategy
Engineering serendipity - how to make in-person interactions actually productive instead of accidental
Performance management revolution - measuring output quality rather than input hours
Why introverts finally get their chance to lead in distributed teams
The isolation myth - practical solutions beyond just "bringing people back to the office"
Digital nomad villages and the future of coworking spaces as learning labs
