> But even some of my direct reports will slack significantly more if they think I’m not online. Responses that are normally in minutes take hours etc. Make expectations on response times clear. I'm guessing you want it to depend on the medium used and not depend on your (appeared?) online status. Talk with your team about it. Bonus points for summary e-mail after talk. You usually got a reponse in minutes (I assume IM or mail), lucky. That is changing: you think it's because they slack. Maybe they much more often enter flow-state* while WFH which is so easely interrupted (or rarely gained) at the office. I know I do. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)
