Take a look at this news report on a study published by the New York Times. Listen to the comments made here by Ben Castleman, an economics reporter for the New York Times, as he discusses the study findings and offers some food-for-thought with regard to remote working.

Do the advantages of working remotely outweigh the disadvantages, in your opinion? What kind of leader would you be? Do you feel you could be a successful leader in a remote environment
