Challenge Your Normal | Coffee with the Bros

Eddie wore khakis and a button-down shirt to the office every single day for his first couple years in the office. He felt like this was a necessary part of showing that he took his role seriously. Tyler followed Eddie’s fashion leadership… for about a month.  Now, both of us wear jeans and a t-shirt to the office every day. And there is purpose behind this choice. This isn’t an episode about fashion, but more an episode about questioning your motivations for doing things.  Here are some touchpoints from our chat:

• We are surprised but deeply honored that there are actually people out there who have watched 100 episodes! 
• It’s beneficial to ask, “Why do we do things the way we do?” The willingness to confront this question sends a message of respect to everyone in the organization. 
• When there’s room for freedom and comfort in the process of delivering quality work, then it’s probably wise to embrace that freedom and comfort.
• Having a personal uniform–even if it’s a somewhat casual one–can help enhance a sense of consistency.
• If you need to monitor the mouse movement of your remote workers, it’s probably time for you to examine your hiring practices and your company’s culture.
• Team dynamics suffere when the supervisor is a clock-Nazi. 
• The key? Focus on the outcomes.
