It's kind of ridiculous that we had to be stuck at home to realize,

huh, I should block out town to think and work,

as opposed to just having meetings and interruptions all day.

Welcome to Post-Corona,

where we try to understand COVID-19's lasting impact on the economy,

culture and geopolitics. I'm Dan Señor. Today we sit down with Adam Grant, a prolific writer, podcaster and professor of organizational psychology at Wharton.

Adam's been thinking a lot about how COVID will change the way we work.

Now, there are a range of strongly held views on this topic, just based on the experience of the past six plus months.

Some employers think productivity is way up and employees enjoy the increased flexibility in time.

Others believe businesses are ultimately human

organizations and humans need human interaction to be effective. Will company

cultures thrive, barely survive, or be completely reinvented. How will COVID change the nature

of work? This is post-Corona.

I am very... Corona.

I am very pleased to welcome my friend Adam Grant to this conversation. As I mentioned earlier, Adam is not only an organizational psychology professor at the Wharton School, he has

been the top-rated professor for seven years. It's the kind of thing that guests typically

don't like to be mentioned in an introduction, but the guest's mother typically likes it

for it to be widely promoted. He's the host of the work life podcast which is one of my favorite

podcasts right now he's the author of three books which I am proud to say I

have read all three originals how non-conformists move the world give and take and then also

option B which he co-wrote with Cheryl Sandberg and he is a contributor to New York Times

opinion so he's he writes a lot isn't a contributor to New York Times opinion.
