What killed ROWE at Best Buy was the same phenomenon that occurs frequently when a cost-cutting leader is appointed to turn around a struggling company: a short-term \u201cget tough\u201d mindset that favors rapid shocks over the slower, more difficult \u2014 but ultimately much more powerful \u2014 work of developing and communicating a strategy and harnessing the talent and creativity of committed, engaged employees to implement it. While Al Dunlap-style management can boost stock price in the short term, it lays waste to human capital value \u2014 the very resource that is most critical in firms like Best Buy, whose fortunes depend on providing excellent customer service.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is really Pink&#8217;s point throughout the book: the style of management and ideas about motivation he discusses are about long-term achievement rather than quick turn around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\">tags: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/witchyrichy\/ROWE\">ROWE<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/witchyrichy\/leadership\">leadership<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/witchyrichy\/of_interest\">of_interest<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"diigo-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/best-buy-ceo-rowe-2013-3\">BEST BUY CEO: Here&#8217;s Why I Killed The &#8216;Results Only Work Environment&#8217; &#8211; Business Insider<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-description\">Best Buy was featured in Daniel Pink&#8217;s book Drive as an example of a company using ROWE<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\">tags: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/witchyrichy\/best buy\">best buy<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/witchyrichy\/leadership\">leadership<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/witchyrichy\/of_interest\">of_interest<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"diigo-ps\">Posted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
