Work 2.0: The New Contract. In the flavor of the much-quoted Cluetrain Manifesto (and maybe even the Gluetrain parody) comes a corporate employees manifesto: Work 2.0: The New Contract. [John Porcaro: mktg@msft]
I followed John's link and was pleasantly surprised. I printed out the PDF, read it and then forwarded it to my boss. It's very exciting to me to think of managers and companies that embrace excitement.
Here are my personal faves:
"I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind...You just kinda wasted my previous time. - Bob Dylan"
"We all may win together, but the speed, effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity of the team are built upon what each individual brings to the effort. The great places to work will set new standards in real-time responsiveness, interactivity, customization & personalization."
"We'll go wherever we get just-in-time, on-demand learning that's exciting and continually draws us back for more. And where leaders create the space and time to think - sometimes slowing things down enough for what we're learning to sink in. The "Wow" part comes from connecting with, and learning from, greater people - not from technology. No boundary exists between plan and work, informal and formal learning, tasks and what we need to know. We can find this in the outside, networked world. What are finding inside your company."
"Truly talented people are not driven to please authority figures. The people you want to keep satisfaction through the work itself."
"Time and attention are the scarcest resources we have. We get ticked off when they are wasted. Anything, or anyone, inside your organization that wastes our time is likely to be ignored."
And last, but not least
"As individuals, we laugh easily and deeply. Lots of times, at ourselves. Does your firm? If you can't laugh, you can't learn."
