According to this article from BusinessWeek Online , BestBuy has decided to implement what they call “results-only work environment” or ROWE. Various technology companies have had similar policies in the past, but BestBuy is trying ROWE to an extreme that has probaly never been seen in a company of its size and in its industry. They wont have any schedules or mandatory meetings. Employees will be free to work wherever they want, whenever they want, as long as they get their work done.

Yesterday was the first anniversary of my first post on Sixteen Small Stones! I have now blogged here longer than any of my previous blogging endeavors. I offer a big “Thank You” to those of you who are kind enough to read, and especially to those of you who have left feedback, whether as comments on the website or as private email to me.

To celebrate, I have compiled a list of some of my favorite posts from this first year. If you have started reading recently, you may want to check them out:
