Ron Johnson urges Wisconsin Republicans to settle on a candidate, avoid bitter gubernatorial primary
MADISON – Wisconsin's top Republican wants his party's hopefuls for governor to duke it out over the next five months but to coalesce around one candidate by the start of 2026. U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, in an interview on WEAU, said GOP candidates for governor should, before the end of 2025, "put your egos aside, set your campaign staffs aside … sit down and realize, OK, this is about Wisconsin, this isn't about me." "In a cold, clear-eyed assessment, who has the best chance of becoming the next governor of Wisconsin — next Republican governor? And the other ones need to step aside. That's what I will encourage." Johnson said the candidates for governor — so far, Whitefish Bay manufacturing CEO Bill Berrien and Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann — should have a meeting before the end of 2025 and "say, OK, which one of us is most likely to win?" More: Scott Walker teases interest in another run for Wisconsin governor Johnson spoke on July 25, a day after Democratic Gov. Tony Evers announced he would not run for a third term next year, setting the stage for the first wide-open race for governor with no incumbent since 2010. A spokeswoman for Berrien did not immediately react to the idea. A spokeswoman for Schoemann declined to comment. Johnson's suggestion comes after a bruising GOP primary for governor in 2022 featuring former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, businessman Tim Michels, business consultant Kevin Nicholson and state legislator Tim Ramthun. Ultimately, Michels prevailed after securing the endorsement of President Donald Trump and went on to be defeated by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. Republican politicos have since said that primary, which lasted about a year, damaged Michels because groups of voters loyal to others were unable to coalesce around Michels after a lot of negative campaigning. The 2026 GOP primary field could be as wide as the last, with Congressman Tom Tiffany likely joining in the coming weeks. Other potential candidates could enter, including former U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde and Michels. The primary election is more than a year away: Aug. 11, 2026.

Trump Endorses Sarasota's Joe Gruters to Lead Republican National Committee
The Republican National Committee will need a new leader soon to replace the current chairman who is stepping down to run for a North Carolina U.S. Senate seat − and President Donald Trump's choice is in Sarasota. 'Fortunately, I have somebody who will do a wonderful job as the Chairman of the RNC,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'His name is Joe Gruters, and he will have my Complete and Total Endorsement.' Gruters, a Florida state senator representing Sarasota County, is the RNC's treasurer and was previously chair of the Florida Republican Party. He is also running in 2026 to be Florida's Chief Financial Officer. The RNC's current chairman, Michael Whatley, is leaving to run for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina, according to reporting by Politico. Gruters was also endorsed by longtime U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Longboat Key, in a statement Friday morning. 'I've known Joe for over 20 years and have witnessed his strategic vision and steadfast commitment to conservative principles,' Buchanan said. 'His passion, integrity, and leadership make him the right person for the job.' Although Trump and DeSantis appeared to have reconciled at Alligator Alcatraz, they are on opposite sides when it comes to the Florida Chief Financial Officer statewide race. DeSantis appointed a key ally in the Legislature, state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, a Hernando County Republican as interim as CFO to set him up to run for the position next year, while top Trump political advisors Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio this month joined Gruters' campaign, announced last year. DeSantis and Ingoglia were in Bradenton on Thursday to announce an audit of the Manatee County government, amid the board of county commissioners' hardline stance against development interests. As of Friday, Ingoglia has not yet officially filed to run for the seat in 2026, according to the Florida Division of Elections. Gruters has raised $348,295 since he announced his candidacy in 2024. A political action committee in his name, 'Friends of Joe Gruters,' has raised an additional $711,275. Christian Casale covers local government for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

Hybrid Lie: Why 'Best Of Both Worlds' Strategies Deliver Poor Outcomes
David Meade is one of the world's leading keynote speakers, trusted by Fortune 500 brands to inspire their people. I keynote at conferences all over the world, for clients in every conceivable sector. Whether it's a software leadership retreat in Los Angeles or a finance sales kickoff in London, there's one sobering truth I see in hybrid businesses. Five years after the pandemic forced the grand remote experiment, many companies are failing at virtual and remote working. The Numbers Don't Lie The evidence paints a picture of widespread adoption with questionable execution. According to 2024 research from Zoom, 64% of business leaders report using hybrid models, with 82% planning to increase workplace flexibility further. Meanwhile, a Robert Half study found 48% of job seekers prefer hybrid roles, making it clear this isn't a passing trend. But here's where it gets interesting: A 2024 KPMG survey of 1,325 CEOs across 11 countries found that 83% expect their organizations to require a full return to the office within three years. That's a massive disconnect between what employees want and where leadership thinks they're heading. The Collaboration Mirage A comprehensive study from Harvard Business Review (registration required) of 720 employees across a financial services company reveals why hybrid work often feels like a mirage: promising from a distance but disappointing up close. The research, conducted by Peter Cappelli and Ranya Nehmeh, uncovered systematic problems that many organizations haven't recognized, let alone addressed. Consider this workplace scenario: You're a new hire trying to learn the ropes. In a traditional office, you'd naturally absorb knowledge by watching experienced colleagues handle difficult clients or navigate complex projects. You'd overhear conversations that provide context. You'd catch someone's eye when you're struggling and receive immediate help. In hybrid arrangements, that organic learning often evaporates. New hires can't learn by example because there's no one to watch, and conscientious peers can't see when newcomers are struggling. With an average monthly U.S. turnover of just over 3% (meaning more than one-third of the workforce changes annually), this isn't a minor issue. The KPI Trap When managers can't easily observe collaboration, they often default to tracking what's measurable: individual key performance indicators (KPIs) and task completion. Employees focus on meeting their individual targets at the expense of helping colleagues or working on collective tasks not explicitly part of their KPIs. This creates a vicious cycle. When someone needs help, colleagues often indicate they're "unavailable" online because they're focused on their own metrics. People often respond to requests for help only after finishing their own tasks, unless they have a personal relationship with the person asking. The Promotion Paradox Perhaps most concerning is how hybrid work is changing who gets ahead. In some cases, promoting the best individual performers into management jobs can lead to worse team performance. Yet that's exactly what's happening in many hybrid environments, where managers can easily track individual metrics but struggle to assess collaboration and leadership potential. Managers often have no real idea whether colleagues can get along with others, let alone manage them, because they rarely see them interacting with other people. Hybrid Work As Elite Privilege Here's where expert opinion sharply divides: Stanford economist Nicholas Bloom's 2024 research found that employees working from home two days a week are just as productive and likely to be promoted as those in the office full time. His study concludes that hybrid work is a "win-win-win" for productivity, performance and retention. But some argue this research primarily applies to highly educated professionals and may not translate to other roles or industries. Remote work is increasingly becoming a privilege for higher-income workers, creating a new workplace divide between those who can work flexibly and those who cannot. This debate reflects a fundamental question: Is hybrid work a universal solution or an elite perk that inadvertently reinforces workplace inequality? Recent Corporate Reversals The tide may be turning. Reports suggest major companies, including Amazon, AT&T and Dell, have ended hybrid work policies in 2024-2025, enforcing full-time office attendance. The Wall Street Journal (registration required) has highlighted the growing tension between employers and employees over return-to-office mandates, with some companies willing to lose talent rather than maintain flexible arrangements. These reversals suggest that many organizations have concluded the administrative burden and performance costs of hybrid work outweigh its benefits, at least as currently implemented. Evidence-Based Solutions For organizations committed to making hybrid work succeed, best practices are emerging: Require all team members to be in the office on the same designated days, with attendance tracked and enforced. The optimal number varies by collaboration needs: typically two to three days per week. Limit virtual meeting attendees to essential participants only. Institute a "cameras on or don't attend" policy. I've noticed successful fully virtual companies have processes in place to continually monitor meeting effectiveness. Include collaboration and mentoring in KPIs. Tell employees that responding promptly to help requests and assisting new hires will factor into bonuses and promotions. Partner new hires with experienced mentors. Map critical cross-team interactions and bring groups together for working lunches. Use community volunteering to build personal relationships around meaningful shared goals. The Bottom Line Hybrid work isn't inherently broken, but many implementations are. Like any complex system, it requires intentional design, consistent execution and ongoing adjustment. I've noticed the companies succeeding with hybrid arrangements treat it as a management discipline, not an employee perk. The choice business leaders face is stark: Either invest in the infrastructure, policies and management practices needed to make hybrid work effective, or acknowledge that you're destined to lose people, productivity and performance to another business that is taking hybrid seriously as a strategic strength. Half-measures (the current approach at many organizations) deliver neither the flexibility employees want nor the performance outcomes businesses need. In the hybrid work equation, execution isn't everything. It's the only thing. Forbes Business Council is the foremost growth and networking organization for business owners and leaders.
