Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What Culture Do You Prefer?

Came across an interesting article about 4 different models of coroporate culture. I think Semco’s model appeals to me the most although Best Buy’s model also looks interesting (“unlimited paid vacation” !!).

One reader asserts in the comments section:

I honestly think these radically alternative models of organizations work only for a short period, under very special circumstances.

What do you think?  How well would these models work in your company?
