Michael Scott
■ Pros: Attentive, always needs to be in the know, wants to be the “cool”
boss, love his job and his co-workers
■ Cons: Not tech-savvy his GPS drove him into a lake, very very very social,
requires constant approval
■ Verdict: Michael needs to be around people. In one experiment, 50% of
the remote workers asked to come back to the office. One of the reasons?
They were lonely.
