This guy just makes me smile, so I wanted to share this. With so many of us experiencing “bad bosses,” these days, I thought it might be nice to share an interview with someone whose business model is based on something else.

I also think he’s inspiring because at a time when so many of us are locked out of the emerging workforce, I think there is a silent challenge that could be met. I keep thinking, what if some of us started organizations, businesses, or projects of our own which expressed our passions?

And with little success, built a team around it. More, a larger team, and so on and so on?

I keep thinking instead of getting the next boss, who structured his company with cheap and inhumane managers who bully people (and who thinks that is okay because it’s bringing in his bottom line), why not create pathways which express our dreams while using that to be of service in some way?

Create a different paradigm? Sure some of us will be successful and some of us may not. But it’s better than signing up for the next victim train (aka bad business model afloat).

I mean, I keep thinking, for those of us unexcited about getting that next job for fear of repeating the last experience on any level…perhaps there is another path.

And, if that isn’t our thing? Let this inspire you at least, to know that they aren’t all jerks and not every company is a nightmare with an open seat for the next victim of abuse.

This guy seems like a fabulous example of someone who may take his responsibilities more seriously than just a focus on profit. But I believe, there are others. I’ve heard Apple, CNN, Landmark, and Google have a company culture that is very conscious about what it is for the employee.

Anyway, for those in search of the next, may you find a more humane environment, fostered by one such boss. Or the way to create your own….whatever type of work you do.
