Who: These two former human resources professionals at Best Buy persuaded their CEO to experiment with a radical new approach to organizing work. They wrote
a book about their experiences,
Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It, and now run their own consultancy.
Big Idea The results-only work environment. ROWE, described in Chapter affords employees
complete autonomy over when, where, and how they do their work. The only thing that matters is results.
Type I Insight: Among the basic tenets of ROWE:
“People at all levels stop doing any activity
that is a waste of their time, the customer’s time, or their company’s time.”
“Employees have the freedom to work anyway they want.”
“Every meeting is optional.”
“There are no work schedules.”
