I look back at where I’ve been and what I’ve done professionally — what I’ve accomplished and what failures I’ve had.

I ’ve missed many opportunities in life because I was afraid to speak up. An uneasy fear rises up when I feel the desire to offer up an idea or oppose a plan. It’s frustrating. Image via Creative Commons. It’s also been holding me back. Recently, I had the idea to create a video library showcasing what our MRP software could do. The videos would include demos of placing an order, creating a job, and shipping a product, among other things.

Over the course of a typical workday, negative and positive things inevitably happen to you. If you’re like most people, you tend to focus mainly, or even exclusively, on negative experiences. They’re what you ruminate over, what you talk to your friend about as you’re driving home, what you discuss with your partner at night. It sometimes feels good to talk about the negatives — it feels therapeutic.

However, CEOs often don’t have the career background and education that would equip them to personally lead the process of new product development. We’ve found that CEOs of big pharmaceutical companies, for example, are more likely to have a background as company lawyers, salespeople, or finance managers, than one in medicine or pharmaceutical R&D.

The prevailing paradigm of people working as full-time employees for a single organization has outlived its usefulness. It produces excess volatility over the business cycle, resulting in measurable economic costs — both to people and to the companies they work for. Our vision is straightforward: most people will become independent contractors who have the flexibility to work part-time for several organizations at the same time, or do a series of short full-time gigs with different compani
