I'm pro new org structures and ways to work together. I'm interested in Valve and Zappos and others. But the nagging feeling is what this Valve employee (who was fired) described: The company is led by the bullies just like in hig

What comes to mind, again, in the discussion if he is a criminal or not: "“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. [...] One declares so many things to be a crime that i

As a "boss" I'd love this. The only downside I see is that some people will be disappointed because the salary reflects their skills and the value the company puts in them. For some this is hard to take if they are in the bot

Education in Germany is mostly free except a (unfortunate) selection process after 4th grade (most states). So people have access to education, and Germany made some great steps forward towards easy business creation (new limited company ty

Giving some workshops I did with non IT (marketing, middle management, ...) here at the company, I think a lot can be gained by some 3 hour workshops with e.g. Scratch/Blockly. Understanding the breaking down of problems into commands,
