Great post and oh so true! People spread out to fill the open space. It’s important to keep everyone close in order to foster rapid communication and execution. I am busy trying to find office space for my next move and fretting because it is hard to find space that meets the four critical space criteria:

1) Affordable (or at least reasonable!)
2) Open, creative space to foster strong culture
3) The right amount of space
4) Available for a short term (max 3-yr) lease

It is a lot of work and I recommend that CEOs put as much thought and care into their “office platform” as they do into their “development platform”, especially if people are a critical part of their future success!

Best-
