The countries resisting remote work In some places, remote work just isn't as culturally sanctioned, hasn't been embraced by society or never caught on due to technological or logistical barriers. So, while many countries march head-first into a work-from-anywhere future, workers in locations including France or Japan are often returning to the office full-time, rejecting the notion that a five-day in-person work week is a relic of the past.

WorkWork WorkWorkTo Get Results, the Best Leaders Both Push and Pull Their TeamsOver the past year, there has been a call for leaders to be less demanding and more empathetic toward individual employees. To get results, managers needed to rely on pull giving employees a say in how they carry a task out and using inspiration and motivation to get them going. But an analysis of thousands of 360-degree assessments showed that the most effective leaders also know how to push drive for results by telling people what to do and holding them accountable. The takeaway? Your efforts to increase empathy shouldnt diminish your ability to, on occasion, push when needed. The data shows that it can be a strong force that builds confidence among employees. The key is to know when to use which approach, depending on the task, the timing, and the people. WorkWorkMagical Venice: The Hedonists Guide To Your Dreams About Italy"Harry Pickering, the American, was staying in Venice in 1929 with his aunt, who left him there. His funds quickly dwindled. The bartender, Giuseppe Cipriani, who worked at the Hotel Europa, where Harry was staying, lent him the sum of ten-thousand lira to help get him home. Two years later, Harry was back in Venice and reimbursed Cipriani four times the amount he gave him. Cipriani now had the money to realize his dream of opening his own bar. Inside an old rope-making factory...he opened [in 1931] what would eventually become the haunt of Ernest Hemingway, Orson Welles and Peggy Guggenheim." In 1948, Cipriani's Bellini was born, made with "Prosecco from the neighboring hills and the pulp of white peaches from Sant'Erasmo," continues Tournebize. "Its pink-orange hue conjured up the palette of artist Giovanni Bellini, a Venetian painter whose frescoes adorn the Frari and San Zaccaria churches â thus the name for the cocktail was found." The decor of Harry's Bar today has not been altered much since then â six leather-covered stools at the counter and approximately a dozen wooden tables in the dining room. Yet its international fame has grown exponentially. Cipriani and his family successfully broadened their talent for hospitality, establishing star-studded bars, restaurants and hotels in Venice and then across the United States.
