Clint Padgett speaks

Clint Padgett is the president and CEO of Project Success Inc. and the ForbesBooks author of How Teams Triumph: Managing By Commitment. He will discuss how the remote-working trend that gained ground in 2020 might play out in 2021 and potentially could lead to communication breakdowns as employees are separated from each other and the boss.

• Remote work clearly became a growing trend in 2020. Is there any chance that as 2021 progresses, businesses will reverse course and move people back to the office?
• What do we lose in terms of our relationships with each other when we are working remotely?
• Is communication the same thing as a conversation?
• Why do you feel a conversation is more powerful?
• What do you see as the key to working together successfully and building relationships among co-workers?
• Why can’t video communication services like Zoom or Google Chat be a substitute for a face-to-face conversation? Aren’t they the same thing?
• How vital is that “water cooler” or “between meeting” talk between colleagues?
• Can parts of that be replicated in a remote setting at all?
