Hi Rosa, I enjoyed our time together, as well. It just emphasizes that while we can communicate through a phone and a computer keyboard, it's the face-to-face that really connects our souls.
And I'm glad you enjoyed the book...based on some of the words you used, I figured there would be a natural kinship between you and Dennis.
Be well.

Rosa, you hooked me - now I have to buy this book. I've always connected workplace joy with enterprise success, and I also know that traditional ways of approaching "structure" within an orgainization sometimes needs to be put on its head. The bedrock principle has got to be trust - Trust=joy=success. I look forward to reading the book. Thanks!

Chris, my time with you was tremendous nourishment for me, heart, mind, and soul. Mahalo nui for your aloha.
Aloha Starbucker! From what you’ve shared here, you will love the book too, I’m sure of it. Bakke writes of a very compelling way to look at organizational structure through fresh eyes, and the concept of trust is central. A few times he says the approach is radical for people, but personally I don’t think so - it is just one which requires managers and leaders to give up the power perks they may have worked very hard to earn earlier in their careers for higher level feelings of satisfaction instead. Tough to do, certainly, but not radical.
Do share more of your thoughts with me after you’ve read it!
