At Box of Crayons our goal is to help organizations do less Good Work and more Great Work. So our focus is on the people and teams within these organizations. But sometimes, Great Work isn’t to be found for you with the walls of a company. If you’re one of those people, if you need to get out – then Pam Slim is the woman for you. Her book Escape from Cubicle Nation had its roots in an impassioned plea to organizations to let people do Great Work – or let them go free. Guy Kawasaki liked it so much he re-blogged it, and Pam’s path became clear. In our interview we talk about:
- What Jack Welch sees as the biggest trend in corporations now – and why that matters
- The story of John the baseball player (and his parents), and how his journey is one we can all learn from
- The role of evangelism in finding your Great Work
- Why prototyping can be the difference between success and failure
You can follow Pam on Twitter at @PamSlim and download the first chapter of her book at www.EscapeFromCubicleNation.com
