It makes sense that the nature of management work (over-communicating) lends itself to physically connected open office areas. Of course, the other half of their job is getting out of the way of the producers. Could a manager answer a few questions I have?

Can you describe to me the difference between the nature of work that requires group creativity and individual focus (or rather, which employee roles fit more into one or the other)?

How much of each do the various roles of your employees spend their time on?

How much control (or influence) do your employees have over whether or not they are in an environment that suits their need for focus (and when that focus ends)?
