Lições do Norte

Tem piada e faz uma boa leitura. Porque razão os suecos tem o sucesso que têm? O trecho transcrito abaixo termina a peça; é apresentado como aperitivo para uma leitura completa que, depois, permita listar as diferenças....


Here are my top ten tips to make your world a little more Swedish:

1. Work hard every day you work, be modest, and don’t look for shortcuts.
2. Prioritize your private life, and refuse to compromise it away for work. If you need to, trade a higher salary for more time off.
3. Tell uncomfortable truths, and skip the jargon.
4. Always innovate. If it has been done before, do it differently or don’t do it at all.
5. Collaborate, and give credit where credit is due.
6. If you’ve got that sweet corner office, turn it into your team’s project room and move your desk back out onto the floor.
7. Keep structures and titles as flat as possible. You may need your title on occasion, but don’t take it too seriously or use it as a wall.
8. Promote the doctrine that everyone contributes ideas.
9. Kill your darlings for the good of the project.
10. Cultivate a culture of responsibility with freedom. Let people know that they’re allowed to fail, and don’t punish honest failure.
