Myths of the Free Agent Workplace
- Gordon Miller
(Excerpts
from by Daniel Pink and his book "Free Agent Nation)
-
LOYALTY
IS DEAD. In some ways, it's stronger than ever, but
it does look a lot different.
-
WORKERS ARE LESS SECURE. Sometimes, but diversified
portfolios can mean more security.
-
WORKLIFE
BALANCE IS IMPOSSIBLE. Free agents erase the boundary
between work and family.
-
WORKERS
STRIVE TO RETIRE. Actually, we are inventing a new
old age.
-
GROWTH IS THE KEY ECONOMIC DRIVER. Bigger isn't what
it used to be. Better rules.
