Knowledge Workers and Money!
This blog post regarding nine key points which so positively and constructively drive my life is in part inspired by a comment made to me last year by Sarah Blow, my friend and "ethos of blogging" mentor, talented UK software engineer, Founder of London Girl Geek Dinners and so much more.
Please note that the first four points were originally brought into my mind and spirit by the writings of Peter F. Drucker (passed away at age 92 on November 11, 2005), with the last five points being mine and having been developed over the last 16 years.
Here goes and hope you find this helpful and thought-provoking...
1. We live in a knowledge world.
2. There is no meaningful theory for knowledge work.
3. There are few (if any) meaningful measures with respect to evaluating the effectiveness (i.e., the value) of knowledge work and knowledge workers.
4. What are the future implications for organizations and for society at large with respect to knowledge work and knowledge workers?
5. Knowledge workers have to love their burro because whoever knows least in the knowledge world ends up getting their poor burro’s *ss kicked! Note: a burro is a donkey or ass.
6. My Mission: What do I have to do in order to enable knowledge workers to become financially independent so they can have life balance and the economic freedom to go out into the world and do magical things that help others?
7. My lifetime economic performance question (a work in progress until the day I die)… How much money can a knowledge worker earn from creating value?
8. We do not run for money. Rather, money is merely a useful by-product of creating economic value for others. Further, one true value of money for a knowledge worker is that it enables a quality life-balance and the freedom to create magically useful things that help others.
9. It all comes down to people (i.e., God’s creation) and we have to love, enable and lift people up. Once they reach that higher plane of existence then “all things are possible to they that believe.”
Oh Joy!
