4. Working Smarter Fieldbook, Jay Cross et al
• “Those who follow the old ways will die. This isn’t just a bend in the
road or some sort of bounce in a cyclical trend. This is a total phase
change.…
• We are going from throwing off the yoke of the industrial age, when
you had one class of people telling another class of people what to do,
into a network age, where if you don’t empower the people of your
organization, the people are going to leave…
• I am not giving up on managing, organizing, and controlling. But it is
going to be more of a shared responsibility. And it is going to be shared
with workers and this group of people we don’t have a name for—the
people who used to be on the payroll: outsourced, or consultants, or
some other thing.
• And customers are going to be involved. A company that doesn’t
involve its customers in its product planning is missing the boat. …
• we’ll take ideas from wherever they come. Everyone is involved,
including the customers. We are transparent.”
