The secret to overcoming this tendency, and putting your company into the success “sweet spot”, is to treat ideas a LOT differently. Watching this happen year after year has convinced me of the real power of finding this “sweet spot” of success. The janitorial budget can wait. Ideas, meet urgency.

It’s really a huge assumption that quickly becomes an even bigger risk to a leader’s success. Consequently, the company was much better off, and more successful, and I never heard those classic lines.

In a “no-boss” workplace, how do those tangible means get determined? Is it a factor of how many projects the worker successfully pitches? And if that’s the case, what becomes of otherwise fantastic (but perhaps a bit introverted) teammates that just happen to not be good at winning project contests?
