When your laptop is your desk and your mobile is your work phone, do you really need a corner office?
Some CEOs say no and hence the new trend of the wandering boss.
At the San Francisco headquarters of Indiegogo, each of its 130 employees has a desk. Slava Rubin, the CEO, isn't one of them.
"I want to show I'm available. I love to pop into discussions and hear that unfiltered information," Rubin says. According to Fortune.com, he has walking meetings and uses his iPhone to delegate tasks and stay engaged.

Scott Heiferman, CEO of Meetup.com doesn't have a desk. Nor does HubSpot co-founder and COO JD Sherman.
