For more on this topic, check out Jason Fried's (37Signals) article “How I
Work” in this month's Inc. or Dan Pink's TED talk on the new paradigm for
work and motivation. You're right, companies that figure out how to give
their employees autonomy and freedom will win in the long run. 37Signals is
the best example of that – they're leading the way in “new work styles”.

I hadn't read your post before I posted mine. I spoke a few weeks ago about this topic too. Additionally, last week i attended a conference, "Next Generation in Work Flexibility". The amazing thing to me is that people talk about these topics like they are happening 20 years from now and that using social media in workplace, allowing access to the internet and creating flexible work options isn't happening real time. These are REAL issues facing employers today. I see this as such a HUGE win for the companies that figure it out and a maximum competitive edge. Some of the questions that people ask about employee motivations ("How can we ever trust them-they have to be managed!") astound me! I've been supervising employees for almost 20 years, employees largely still want the same thing, autonomy, empowerment and recognition. It still doesn't appear to me that you have to be within the same four walls to get those things. Thanks for writing about a very powerful topic!
