Recorded on October 11, 2018, this episode’s topic was suggested to us by a listener: Dumb Rules That Make Your Best People Want to Quit. This really resonated with us. People get frustrated with certain types of rules set by HR and managers and those rules become counter-productive. We talk about alternative approaches, a shift in mindset, and how to bring about change. What are some of the dumb rules you’ve seen? And what are the tips and tricks you’ve encountered to change them? Share your stories and ideas with us, we’d love to hear from you. https://www.facebook.com/hrmattersamsterdam/ The article, a Medium Feature Story: https://medium.com/s/story/10-dumb-rules-that-make-your-best-people-want-to-quit-8491b446dde5 Also mentioned in the recording: Google’s toothbrush test https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/08/17/in-silicon-valley-mergers-must-meet-the-toothbrush-test/ Manoush Zomorodi’s 2017 TedTalk: ‘How boredom can lead to your most brilliant ideas’ https://www.ted.com/talks/manoush_zomorodi_how_boredom_can_lead_to_your_most_brilliant_ideas Lisette Sutherland’s book ‘Work Together Anywhere: A Handbook on Working Remotely — Successfully — for Individuals, Teams, and Managers’ https://www.collaborationsuperpowers.com/book/
