Once upon a time, workers went to factories and produced physical things. Owners could literally show the place and the product.

And then services and ideas began to be the product. Services were still easy, because the workers were visibly doing things.

But the ideas...well, what to do?

Those in tune are fine with the workers being at home (the computer doesn't care if you're in your underwear), because they are comfortable with how to access and demonstrate the product.

But those whose measurements are still what they can *see* are having a challenge. If they can't see the product, they want to see the workers. How else can they know work has been done? How can they demonstrate that to others if called upon to do so?

I won't put it all on generational differences, but there is some of that. It is definitely a mindset difference, though, and eventually those who are operating with the older one will be phased out or see things in a fresh way.

In the meantime, the struggle continues.
