Gary Hamel has some thoughts about how Gen F ( Facebook Generation) will shape the workplace. No change that – ARE shaping the workplace. It’s just that some companies are a little slow on understanding what is needed to attract the new generation. Portfolio workers pretty much understand this already. Take a look at the WSJ for more detail. Hat tip to John Caswell.
- All ideas compete on an equal footing.
- Contribution counts for more than credentials.
- Hierarchies are natural, not prescribed.
- Leaders serve rather than preside.
- Tasks are chosen, not assigned.
- Groups are self-defining and -organizing.
- Resources get attracted, not allocated.
- Power comes from sharing information, not hoarding it.
- Opinions compound and decisions are peer-reviewed.
- Users can veto most policy decisions.
- Intrinsic rewards matter most.
- Hackers are heroes.
