"We are talking about changing the whole conversation about what work is for. It doesn’t have to be a battle field where a few people win (or lose) big. Work can be a place where everyone can find their level, their place, their sense of purpose. Everyone can be respected and valued, and not just because it’s the humane thing to do, but because it makes business sense” (pg 139)
Not working for time…this does not mean that people milk the system or that there is no capacity planning. You can still talk about time. You can still plan around time. “ I think this will take two weeks: or “we need to build in a month to make sure that happens.” IT’S MORE A MATTER OF NOT BASING ACHIEVEMENT ON TIME” (pg 145)
Weak Point of ROWE. Social Aspect of work: It’s natural for some people to start to feel disconnected. To alleviate this, a team decides that it needs to connect on a social level and then figures out the best way to drive that result. When teams take this kind of action, it’s far more meaningful than traditional business social activities of the past. (pg 146)
This is how entrepreneurs and freelances live....Talk to successful self-employed people and they will describe days that are full but not hectic, that mix personal with professional in a way that is almost seamless …figuring out how to best use your time, being efficient, etc
