Get high performance from regular employees
For tech teams that need the best from employees.
The Hero
The best performance comes from energized, innovative employees.
The Villain
Autonomy is not enough.
The more work feels top-down, the lower the performance.
The Plan
Launch a skunkworks program to open up a second engine for innovation.
This creates the same high energy dynamics you find in startups. It’s like going from elevator music to a jazz ensemble.
This isn’t Google’s 20% time. The second engine comes entirely from extra productivity, with zero impact to official projects and schedules.
