Well… I do get a lot of comments about how people envy my workplace in the fun that we have, so I guess its as close to Utopia as you can get. But there’s always room for improvement. But I feel an owner in that process.

And I’d say judging by the results and involvement you get from your team, you’re leading quite the same kind of group.

John, based on your last few comments, it sounds like you’re working in Utopia! I’m glad to hear that environments and leaders like this exist out there and are finding success practicing it.

That is the amazingly powerful aspect of our current work group, and in large part the reason for such a dramatic turn around in engagement, performance and direction.

Prior to that we lived under an autocratic umbrella that left little room for growing ideas as they gained legs. And quite frankly this nipped energy in any projects almost certainly before they began.

The one thing I have noticed is, there is even policing within the team. So that some failures are avoided before they ever happen because of the power of the group.
