Praise for The Flexibility Paradigm:
“Morales was researching and advising leaders on the value of holistic flexibility for years before this way of working became the norm in so many organizations. With great clarity, insight, and brevity, she explains to leaders how to use the concept of flexibility to create a more collaborative culture. She shows that success happens when flexible work is ‘done right,’ not when it is ignored, wished away, or done poorly. This book helps leaders avoid the needless but ubiquitous pitfalls of our post-pandemic work-life experience.”
