Thanks for the comments guys.

CT – I know what you mean in terms of re-organizing employees' rhythms. I think it's important for bosses to explain to employees what's expected in terms of work rhythms – I think of things like schedules, working from home or not, etc. Get those details out there immediately to make sure everyone is clear.

It's true. One of the worst things that a founder can do is try to re-organize his/her employees' rhythmn. It's like they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
