What do you want from a job?
Fun, challenging, interesting, money not so important
Money, rise, promotion, office with a door, window, want ‘your’ job, respect
Superannuation, pension, no change
What do you want from the boss?
Don’t believe the boss concept, wont follow a manager who just talks, wants a mentor
Stop trying and making promises that can’t be delivered, want truth
Go away – don’t micro manage me, just tell me what you want
If the job doesn’t deliver?
Leaves immediately, can’t be bought, $ don’t buy passion or engagement
Negotiate with you. I need you to … focus on work life balance (have young children and old parents). If don’t deliver will stay but will start looking elsewhere. Have to spend $ on them – talk is cheap
Hang in – sometimes said that retire on the job
It’s interdisciplinary combinations – design and technology, mathematics and art – that produce YouTube and Google.
Thomas Friedman The World is Flat

possible worlds of the futureHoward Gardner
