How Smart People Can Stop Being Miserable Intelligence can make you happier, but only if you see it as more than a tool to get ahead.

So, make sure that internal communications about flexibility speak to all employees. Remember, if you trusted an individual enough to hire them, you also should trust them enough to get work done when and where they prefer.
