I really like how you moved from "balance" to "flexibility." One of the challenges is an underlying management philosophy from the industrial age that you must be seated at your desk doing nothing but "work" from 9 to 5. It used to be vitally important to be in the office because face-to-face was the only way to communicate. With email, intranets, mobile devices, wifi and a myriad of ways to communicate it less important to be in the office from 9 to 5. Technology has made it easier to "flex." Leanne -
