I am a manager, and in my style, I give poeple plenty of latitude-I am not in the habit of checking on them all the time. Over that last six months or so , it has started to be a serious problem. Employees that we count on to use their brains (code writers and developers) , are allowing themselves to be interupted incredibly oftem - one guy it seems gets an interruption every 15 minutes. What is galling (about this particular person) , is that , when I am in the middle of discussing a complex technical issue with him , a flag pops up on his computer and he taps out a response immediatly as I am talking with him!! Obviously, we have a huge problem here. In my partners business he recently sent out an email to all - anyone found with this software on their PC will be terminated. I dont want to go this far (as firing someone for this), but I am at the end of my rope, and will lower the boom real soon (in a kinder and gentler way). Facebook is for losers ---get a life for yourself, and dont bother people at work with inane time wasting nonsense. Do it at home.

I consult to CMOs and try to get them excited about collaborating with their customers, but companies don't trust their customers. Does that mean that companies aren't trustworthy? You are so right about the output.. this is a vital part of the industrial->knowledge economy shift. We can largely jettison the hierarchy necessitated by industry, the assembly line. Let people get things done and let organization be emergent. As long as we have governance and goals, things will work out great. Thanks for an awesome post.
