We dont need managers. We manage ourselves!

It seems like [1] a recipe for [2] anarchy: At TechTarget, [3]
interactive
[4]
media company in
USA, all 210 employees are free to come and go as they please.
There are no set policies on [5]
working hours or [6]
sick, personal and
[7]
vacation days. More productive between
midnight and 4 am? No problem, says
[8]
founder and CEO Greg Strakosch.
Strakisch, 40, may sound like [9]
leftover from [10]
feverish, try-anything
days of [11]
new economy. But [12]
financial results tell [13]
different
[14]
[15]
story.
four-year-old-companys open-leave policy, Strakosch says, is
biggest reason why turnover is expected to hit $35 million this year, up nearly 30 per cent
from last year. Its [16]
competitive weapon, he says.
That doesnt surprise Shoshana Zuboff, [17]
professor of [18]
business
[19]
[20]
administration at
Harvard. In
age of intellectual assets, she says, its
absurd to treat workers with [21]
industrial-age mindset. We should be beyond
[22]
demanding just
loyalty from workers and we should trust them to be honest
about managing their time, Zuboff says.
