Want Creative Workers? Loosen The Reins, Boss

Philip Glass, the contemporary composer, works on his new compositions only between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. That’s the time, he says, when his creative ideas come to him. When filmmaker George Lucas needs to write or edit a script, he sequesters himself in a small cottage behind his house where he gets no calls or visitors.

You're the Boss: You're Really in the Restaurant Business Now

He is right. I am deep into the business now. And up to my eyeballs in people. That’s people with a capital P. That’s what I keep coming around to, bumping into, knocking up against — people. Like an explorer with short-term memory loss, I keep rediscovering, again and again, that the future of the restaurant rests upon the shoulders and psyches of the people who work here. Not on the fish. Not on sweet potatoes. Not design, not prices, wine, music, menu, advertising, economy or weather. Those have all been mapped out, more or less. People, however, are anything but fixed. Or fixable. People get sick. People fall in love. People get new jobs, new lusts, new addictions. People get hurt feelings. People get big eyes, or big heads, or big ideas. People get religion. People lose their religion. People move on. God bless.

You're the Boss: Further Thoughts on Health Insurance

What about the unemployed and their dependents? I think we would have a more dynamic labor market if health care were decoupled from employment, and employers would be better off if they didn’t have the administrative and cash-flow burden. And once people started paying for their health care themselves, you’d see more attention paid to bad behavior and more political pressure for the government to reign in costs.
