On Mobile Lifestyling
The creative class has always had the advantage of deciding where, when and how to work. Artists, writers and painters need both solitude and social interaction to deliver the what. They need ebb and flow.
The rest of us have had the disadvantage of being locked into a white or blue collar factory anywhere between 40 and 80 hours a week. Historically the what has driven the where, when and how.
But thankfully the world is changing and more people can now enjoy the mobile lifestyle of the bohemian artist thanks to technology, global competition for talent and evolving values.
The argument that a mobile work-life is a privileged that needs to be earned will soon be replaced by it’s own necessity. Focusing solely on the what - the delivery of great quality and the right solutions - increases productivity, happiness and results.
When people get to work on fun projects that makes a difference without adult corporate supervision and the need for physical check-ins and monitoring the result always turns out to be 100x better and faster. Always.
The key to staying competitive in the idea-driven creativity economy is to attract the right talent, work on important projects and then clear all decks from roadblocks, everything from internal bureaucracy to slow office life.
It sounds a little like managing artists, doesn’t it!
