Friday Grab Bag (August 7)
Follow Michael Bungay Stanier on Twitter.
On Fridays I share the best of what I’ve come across on the web, topics that inspire, provoke and encourage Great Work. Here are three short articles, all different and all interesting.
1. What’s it like at your place of work?
Here’s a short article on Netflix, the company that’s broken the heart of Blockbuster by reinventing how we rent DVDs. It points to an interesting mixture between freedom and structure to keep employees engaged.
2. What does Impossible mean?
I can’t say I always like how Tim Ferris comes across, but I do admire his willingness to challenge conventional wisdom and look at what really works. This is a short post on how to reframe what’s “impossible”.
3. Sex with Mum was Blinding
The headline will make more sense once you listen to this TED talk, one of the latest to get posted. It explores what success is really about – a funny and wise 18 minutes.
