Nacho writes about a nice article at Note from boss to employees. If you follow through the original article, you can find a comment reversing the meaning of the letter (from employee to boss).
I guess both are true. And I guess there are two conclusions to extract from the letter and the replay:
We are all human. We all make mistakes
Since we all fail, fluent communication is vital for the health of a company (or any other kind of organization)
So I think you can ask an employee some level of empathy if you aren’t offering the same, and viceversa. It’s not so difficult. Remember, just be nice. There’s always a story behind.
And I think the last paragraphs summarize all the previous steps quite well
The best way to think about management is to treat everyone like an unpaid intern.
Each day, your employees ask themselves, “Am I getting enough out of this job to keep doing it?” And each day, you need to give them a reason to say, “Yes.”
Well, I’m used to the term tech neutrality maybe because is one of the current open fights here in Spain, but not so much about net neutrality. Two very different concepts but similar consequences. The opposite of neutrality here would be control. Control by an oligopoly (in the best case) which kills diversity, so killing innovation and slowing progress. Not a good idea.
I’ve found a short documentary (11 min) about this topic, quite well explained. Also, the video is open source and AFAIK, all the material has been extracted from the net (I recognised several clips from youtube)
The site: Humanity Lobotomy. There you can watch the video in Quicktime or download in some other formats.
Well, not so easy but really close this time. I don’t remember how I got there, but I found a perl script to order pizza from the command line. Bad news is that only works for Domino’s in the US, but I bet it’s a matter of time. Envy is a great motivator (check out Bluetooth Remote for reference).
It’s my first auction on eBay, and it’s so exciting I think I’m going to put most of my stuff on sale (most of my stuff means all the stuff forgotten in some drawer or closet)
Yesterday I discovered JPG Magazine, a photography magazine with an interesting business model. Users submit their photos, users vote for photos, JPG publish user photos. If your photo gets published you get a 1-year subscription and $100.
Also you can get it in PDF for free. I’ll wait before subscribing since the price for US ($24.99/year) seems to be ok, but outside US it’s $48.99, which I find a bit expensive for 6 issues.
It’s called Authenteo and I have to say I haven’t really tried it yet, but it looks quite impressive.
Ouch, I tried it and it made this post the “Firefox 2 – Safari 0”. After some block moving, Firefox crashed with all my new stuff to read tabs on it. Thanks to Firefox 2 session restore, nothing happened. It has also recovered the unsaved text of this post!
About Athenteo, not working too well and it’s way complicated and strange to use, but could be a good foundation for something great in the future.
