The idea that engagement naturally crumbles in remote work is lazy thinking. What’s actually failing? Leadership models, onboarding experiences, and organizational accountability.
Recently, I attended Running Remote 2025. Dr. Adora Ikwuemesi delivered a powerful wake-up call to the attendees there: remote engagement isn’t just about tech or flexibility—it’s about design. And if leaders aren’t evolving, neither will their teams.
While remote work offers flexibility and freedom, it also introduces fragmentation, isolation, and misalignment.
