Should the bosses loosen the reins a bit??
With the world shrinking, and technology connecting every formidable corner of the world, should your boss relax and loosen the reins a little? Traditional bosses vs. modern bosses......... who is able to make it happen?
Sitting in a cubicle do you know whether your employee is working? May be if he goes out for a game of putt putt, the strategies used to play the game might trigger a strategy for work.
With gas prices soaring, employees looking for a work life balance, and the increasing stress and guilt levels .......... bosses should consider a RESULTS ONLY ENVIRONMENT. As long as the work gets done, why should the boss monitor the hallways? A "results only environment" will make the employee more responsible for his actions, and be accountable for it.
Advantages for the employee:
Measurable performance (An advantage for the boss too!!)
Increases and improves creativity
Generation of new ideas
Improves Work life balance
Improves the overall health of the employee - reduced stress levels
Disadvantages for the employee:
Since it is a "results only environment", I guess if the employee does not produce satisfactory results HE's FIRED.
Thanks for stopping by!

Cecelia,
You couldn't be more correct: In a ROWE, no results, no job - it's that simple. If you're just taking up space and filling time, it's really easy to spot that in a ROWE, and you're plucked out the organization very easily.
For people that are achieving their results, ROWE is a dream. It's the way to get a life again and be successful in a career.
It's the future of work and we want to thank you for being a supporter!
