In PRAISE of the OFFICE! with Dr. Peter Cappilla & Ranya Nehmeh

Is hybrid work really working, or are we slowly damaging culture, innovation and careers without noticing In this episode of Leadership Bites I talk with Peter Capelli, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and Ranya Nehmeh, an HR leader and author based in Vienna. Together they have written In Praise of the Office. The Limits to Hybrid and Remote Work, a short, sharp book that looks at what we gained with remote work and what we are in danger of losing if we ignore the social reality of offices. We get under the skin of what actually happens when people share a workplace, and what disappears when everyone is on a screen. This is not a nostalgic plea to drag everyone back to their desks. It is a hard look at evidence, trade offs and leadership responsibility. In this conversation we explore Why the pandemic created a huge unplanned experiment in remote work and why it worked better than most leaders expected How office presence quietly shapes mentoring, promotion, pay and informal access to power The rise of two cultures inside organisations. The pre pandemic insiders who know how things work and the post pandemic joiners who have no frame of reference Why innovation drops when people are distant and why casual corridor chats and coffee catch ups matter for ideas and problem solving How social networks inside organisations have shrunk and what that means for knowledge sharing and getting work done across teams The real cost of proximity bias, cameras off meetings and delegating all decisions about office attendance to local managers The growing tension between employees who have built their lives around flexibility and leaders who now want people back on site What leaders need to communicate if they want any form of hybrid to work, including a clear answer to the question. Why do we need to be together in person Practical ways to use office time for mentoring, collaboration and career development rather than dragging people in just to sit on video calls Why this is mainly a management challenge, not a technology problem If you are a senior leader, HR or people director, or you are wrestling with return to office debates in your organisation, this episode will give you language, evidence and a more balanced way to think about office, hybrid and remote choices. About the guests Peter is a long standing professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania with decades of research and teaching on work, organisations and the future of the office. Ranya is an HR expert, consultant and author with twenty years of experience in international organisations, now focused on teaching, writing and advising leaders on modern HR and workplace strategy from a European perspective.
