For the second day, I am linking to 37 Signals. I make no apology. They are wise.
“Simply put, employees are treated like children. They are not allowed to think for themselves, and there are too many layers of approval, just too much insulation that prevents anyone from doing anything. The traditional workplace is broken, and until someone realizes that, there’s always going to be conflict.”
This is another thought provoking article from 37 Signals about how to monetise blogging.
They started with salient blog posts, from which they produced the book “Getting Real,” from which they started a course of seminars. The conclusion being that by repackaging their original blog posts, they were able to earn money in three different ways.
I like this idea that I read in an interview with Simon Waterfall of digital agency, Poke as reported in .net magazine.
Every four months, all 55 of their employees get up and move desks:
Because you sit next to somebody new, you sit next to a different skill set or age group. It stops you becoming so introverted that you don’t accept the new……. it’s a great way to be inspired all the time.”
