#65 - The Former President of Fidelity on Remote Work

Today's guest is Bob Pozen, the former president of Fidelity Investments. He teaches a course at MIT Sloan called "Maximizing your own Productivity" and he recently authored a book with Alexendra Samuel titled, "Remote, Inc.: How to Thrive at Work...Wherever You Are" Topics Why we shouldn't think of ourselves as a "remote worker," rather we should think of ourselves as "Remote, Inc." Why the mindset of becoming a "business of one" is so important The critical role autonomy plays in becoming an productive and happy remote worker Why companies need to shift from measuring "hours worked" to measuring results What was unique about how Peter Lynch managed his time at Fidelity Why we should leave an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon for thinking time How writing helps you clarify your thinking Why everyone should aim for the optimal amount of remote work Why remote work is here to stay (at least in some form) and how to prepare for the future.
