The emergence of your workforce

Seth Godin wrote an interesting post in his blog: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2005/07/the_mediocre_em.html It is really about the slow stagnation of a company. This slow, steady decline reminds me of Buzzoodle, but in the opposite way. With Buzzoodle, you get your employees to slowly, steadily start reaching out and building their network more. It is more of a slow emergence. (Fast with those that embrace it quickly.) People like fast results. But much like the tortoise, you can slowly win the race by creating a workforce of passionate, well connected individuals that understand how to talk about where they work.
