Great reset: the Florida way to constructive capitalism!

I’ve finished reading the book “The Great Reset: How New Ways of Living and Working Drive Post-Crash Prosperity” where I could find important contributions to constructive capitalism. I feel myself obliged to share with you some of Richard Florida thoughts.

Governments role

“Meaningful recovery will require a lot more than government bailouts, stimuli, and other patchwork measures designed to resuscitate the old system or to create illusory, short-term upticks in the stock market, housing market, or car sales.”

“Government spending can’t be the solution in the long run…it simply lacks the resources to generate the enormous level of demand needed to power sustained growth.”

“We need to revamp our governmental institutions and governance structure…with less authority at the top and more at the local and regional levels.”

Great Resets

“They are the great transformative moments when new technologies and technological systems arise, when the economy is recast and society remade, and when the places we live and work change to suit new needs.”

“The challenge is to accelerate the transition from the old to the new order…”

“Our efforts must concentrate on actively building the economy of the future. Instead of infusing scarce capital into the very banks and financial system that brought us to the brink in the first place…”

“…and instead of bailing out mismanaged old-economy companies, we must use whatever resources are available to accelerate the transition to an idea-driven economy…”

People, ideas and opportunites

“…we all have something we’re good at, our own creative spark, and there’s little in life more satisfying and rewarding than the chance to exercise that talent. The real key to economic growth lies in harnessing the full creative talents of every one of us.”

“The key is to expand the very concept of a social safety net, from one that provides just material well-being to one that provides real opportunity for every person.”

“We need to increase the velocity of moving people, goods, and ideas.”

“We need to support the growth of higher-paying knowledge, professional and creative jobs, and make sure that greater numbers of workers are prepared for them.”

Learning 2.0

“We need a learning and development system that is sync with the new creative economy.”

“We need a system of learning and human development that mobilizes and harnesses human creative talent en masse.”

Supremely Faze

If I'm studying ... so I have to have the best experience of the world. I am responsible for being able to feel accomplished as a student. The minimums are achieved by all! The books and articles I read, I watch the videos, levam-me a construir o meu mapa de aprendizagem, join with a passion for learning and differentiate myself from others.

If I make sure my organization ... I realize that these are the minimum required to be on the market. The quality that will make a difference to my long-term sustainability is how my services / products can meet the needs / desires of my clients.

If I create an organization ... I make the most of knowledge and passion that people can contribute.

How many knives, Supremely Faze

How many knives, supremely faze.
Better, if memory is how we,
Remember that very little.
And if in the very little you can,
Complete freedom of remembrance
You become your master.

Autonomy

This is one word, or better, a concept with which I have crossed quite a few times in the last two weeks.

Autonomy at work
Concept about which I have investigated enough and that companies such as W. L. Gore, Semco, Best Buy, Google, Atlassian, Zappos, SEI Investments, Combs and Meddius, help to prove that when we choose extremely well people that we let, in our organization, and give autonomy to atingirem Lhesan results, doing what you know, can profit (tangible and intangible) very interesting.

Autonomy in learning
The World 2.0 requires a learning 2.0. Welcome to the concept of heutagogia (an “pedagogy” those who learned how to learn). In a world marked by constant change, uncertainty and ease of access to information, have to be increasingly responsible for our education.

Autonomy = motivation
According to Daniel Pink, In his book “Drive”, this is the primary motivator (beyond “mastery” and purpose) in the areas of creativity and innovation, as opposed to monetary awards against the achievement of results (when it comes to repetitive tasks assembly line style).

Autonomy to different
Seth Godin daily inspires me to look, think and act differently. In the state of Maryland approved a new legal status for companies”For-Benefit Corporation”. an Jacqueline Novogratz, demonstrates, daily, we can, and we, associate charity with management. In its Paper “Creativity Unlimited”, Micael Dahlén argues that the best way to innovate in business is thinking inside the box.

Autonomy to make a difference
Projects such as Acumen Fund or e Toms Shoes, show as being different, can make a difference in the lives of thousands!

And we?
We are prepared to exercise our autonomy?
