Chapter 5 Notes: How Work Gets Done in a ROWE Pgs 114-132

In a Rowe, most people do come to the office most days. For many, the idea that they have the freedom to work whenever they want from wherever they want is something they keep in their back pocket.  The point isn't the time so much as the trust.  (pg121)

People take ownership of their work (pg 122)

Managers ... take more of a coaching role than a supervisory role. (pg 128)

In a traditional environment there is no employee incentive to do a job more efficiently because if you did manage to get your job done more quickly you’d still have to fill the hours. (pg 131)

…Suddenly in a ROWE everyone is an innovative thinker because if they can get their job done more quickly and efficiently then they have more time for themselves. As long as they can drive the results, they are rewarded with control over their time (pg 131)

People talk about the waste falling away as if by magic. But it’s not magic—it’s a focus on results.” (pg 131)
