Hop Porter Park ~ Hailey, Idaho FRIDAY:
’ve never liked the words “employee” or “boss.” Many years ago, first using them as a consultant, they struck me as by: JIMA Rice, Ph.D. impersonal and generic, highlighting hierarchy rather than collaboration, static roles rather than productive and dynamic relationships. So, why not “associates” or “colleagues” instead of employee and boss? Many businesses have, in fact, already incorporated these words into their language, acknowledging that it is the mix of individual and complementary knowledge, skills, and talents that solve business issues and move business plans forward, not simply “the guy in charge.” The words associate or colleague connote our social reality of a knowledge-rich work force in which incoming associates often know more about a particular topic than the person hiring them. They capture the increasing democracy and flexibility of many businesses in which equity is shared across the ranks and people are free to work where and when they want, as long as they meet their responsibilities.
