Matt blogs 'Reforming project Management'
Create mechanisms for employees to engage fully in the mission of the company. Some people are just dying to make bigger contributions. Blogging is just one way to share ones voice.
Companies clueful enough to want to listen to their participants will find blogs to be a great way to tease them out and get them interacting.
I think this is based on Halley Suitt's article called 'Glove Girl' about an anonymous blogger inside a company.
Anyway. Some very interesting points in here worth absorbing not least of which is the idea of actually listening to your staff. How many managers do that and do it all the time rather than on token occasions or as a empty gesture. I like to think I always listened to my reports (when I had some). i didn't always agree...
I've often see mention of listening to customers, or suppliers / partners but very little made of listening to employees. Time for a change I would suggest.
