Transform How You Work
Stressful commutes, rigid schedules, and a top-down chain of command at still too many companies create disengaged employees. Employees, especially top talent, are seeking jobs that complement their lives better. That means that employers need to start listening to their people’s needs and reconsider the traditional 9-5 arrangement.
Sustainable leaders encourage employees to work remotely, and determine their own schedules. They are assessed on performance, not company loyalty.
Our idea of “work” which our “beatnik” friend Maynard feared is being transformed. “Work” is going to be more like making a movie in the future – more of a project than a lengthy contract. Flexibility will be a key competency in the age of the entrepreneur. The transformation of work and changing of the mind-set of employers is well under way.
People are taking more control of their work schedules and choosing to work remotely. The desire to telecommute is increasing. People are not moving or relocating as much. They’re telling companies that they will work more remotely and will come to the office when they need to. And with technology making it easier, it’s more so an option today than it was before.
Top talent is looking for more options in their lives. Employers that offer flexibility in work schedules really appeal to such top talent. This is not just about working from home, but they want to be managed based on their performance. Entrepreneurs love to get out of bed every day to change the way the world works.
We have a lot of unhappy employees in companies. Employers are wondering what happened to employee loyalty and employees are wondering what happened to the companies that lasted and gave them a job for life.
The sweet spot in an entrepreneur’s mindset is the belief that you are the author of your destiny – that can be working for yourself or working for a company. Some people that are super achievers who want to take the biggest risk and start their own companies. But that’s not the goal of most people. However, you can take that entrepreneurial mind-set into whatever company you go to work with and achieve success.
