1000% agree. The core of your post is trust. It's a two way street now. I've seen a ton of changes in business and love what the future brings for all. Command and control (middle mgt. and the office) are dead. The "office" is now a clubhouse where cool stuff happens and where you want to go vs have to go.
Dude the asynchronous work is the best remote life hack. Prevents Zoom fatigue. Frees up meeting time. I somewhat forced this on our own team last week. We had something we needed to collaborate on (across international time zones no-less) and the initial proposal was to have another call about it in a week or two. I suggested that instead of being meeting heavy to just start a Google doc, we collaborate over that, and if a meeting was needed we could use it to tie up loose ends. We did that, got to where we needed to be a LOT faster and folks had a more free calendar. Everyone won!

I love your description of the office as a clubhouse where cool stuff happens! I may have to write about that at some point soon...
It was in the WSJ, I just sent it to you.

I love that! It makes life and work so much better and more manageable for everyone!
