Do you hate cramming all of your errands into the weekend?
Do you resent having to beg permission to watch your kidas weekday
soccer game?
Are you tired of seeing people who arenat very good at their jobs
get promoted because they arrive early and stay late?
Thereas got to be a better wayaand there is Cali Ressler and Jody
Thompson show that "everyone" benefits when we change the focus
from hours to outcomes. Itas just that our traditional definition
of workaMonday through Friday, nine to fiveadoesnat make sense in
the always-on global economy.
So, Ressler and Thompson created the Results-Only Work
Environment. In a ROWE, "you" control when, where, and how long you
work. As long as you meet your objectives, the way you spend your
time is entirely up to you.
Suddenly, work isnat a place you "go," itas a thing you "do." In a
ROWE, there are no mandatory meetings or fixed schedules. You stop
doing any activity that wastes time, and no one criticizes you for
aleaving earlya or acoming in late.a If you do your best work at
midnight or on Sundays, go for it
ROWE sounds like a fantasy, but Ressler and Thompson have already
made it a reality at Best Buy, a Fortune 100 company. They have
proven that ROWE not only makes employees happier but also delivers
"better results." And now the authors are helping companies
implement ROWE nationwide.

Fix It" will change the way you think about your job, your company,
and your quality of life. Read it and join the revolution
