EMEA Webinar: Leading from Anywhere - Driving Results in the Age of Distributed Work

On July 30, 2025, i4cp hosted a special EMEA-focused webinar as part of the Next Practices Weekly series, bringing together Rob Cross, Mollie Lombardi, and John Sutton to explore critical findings from i4cp’s new global study "Leading from Anywhere: Driving Results in the Age of Distributed Work."

In a lively and insightful session, cohost John Sutton helped guide the conversation as Rob and Mollie unpacked the implications of distributed work for leadership in EMEA. Drawing from insights based on over 800 global participants, the speakers revealed how new leadership models, grounded in human connection and intentional design, can combat burnout, foster culture, and drive measurable business outcomes.

Key Topics Discussed

  The strain of distributed work is compounding pressures on managers. Rob and Mollie explored how isolation, over-collaboration, and blurred work boundaries are increasing burnout across regions.
