Let's have a coffee, let's have a chat ... I'm quite willing to drop someone senior a note. But then, I was a VP at a company ... I think that is more challenging for more junior folks - - Tracy Hawkins
That's why having guidelines around when meeting in person is more effective, how often you should meet in person and making sure that leaders are a part of that so that folks who aren't in offices where the leaders are based, get to have that face time as well. So it's very intentional. - Tracy Hawkins
I also think that creating teams that are intact around the world, with a local leader there who's empowered to make decisions, companies need leaders dispersed around the world. - Tracy Hawkins

Disperse your leadership around the world
Pierre Nanterme, former Chairman of Accenture, RIP, didn't want a Headquarters because that's not where the business was, the business was distributed around the globe, and he didn't want an artificial gravity pulling to a central location.
We are more distributed, and more connected, at the same time, than ever before.
Optimize for that.
