Dream Job

My friend Brian Donohue maintains a politically left centric, intelligista blog titled Daily Revolution. In it you will find not only cogent views on politics, news and mankind, but also on the more esoteric - such as I Ching, therapist cats and the realm of Harry Potter. Check out Brian's book - The Tao of Hogwarts.

Always a rollicking good read, I was especially enthused to find this link to an Ode article titled The Boss Who Breaks All the Rules. The boss refers to Richardo Semler, the owner of a $212 million dollar company encourages employees to set their hours, determine their salaries and choose their bosses.

Here are a few of his tips:

• Let employees determine everything themselves: their salaries, their working hours, their managers.
• Let go of control to stimulate creativity.
• Regularly take a break from work when you are unreachable for a period of time.
• Read classic literature instead of management books.
