■ Pros: Only communicates when it’s necessary, no traffic jams in the
morning, a hands-off approach lets his team be creative
■ Cons: Lose the creative energy of an office brainstorm, three-martini
lunches for one are a bummer, instant message makes it hard to convey
tone
■ Verdict: 74% of workers cite work/life balance as a top reason for remote
working. Don’s personal life might improve if he had more time to spend
with his family and less time commuting to Sterling Cooper.
