Where’s Your Office?
May 8th, 2006[ Office Gossip ]
We don’t have an office. We all have our own offices and improvise when we need to meet, choosing to meet at one of our offices, rented space, a coffee shop or pub. It works and keeps things fresh.
As I’ve mentioned before, it’s also something I wrestle with, would we be better off in a traditional office? Looking into coworking is about maintaining the positive aspects we possess today while gaining the good parts we’re missing from a traditional office space, hopefully leaving behind the annoying toxic parts.
“Teams work best when you get to know each other outside of work”
That’s key. Whether you have an office or an RV, that’s a big part of building a functional team. Having an office doesn’t guarantee you that and even without one I think we’re better at this than most offices I’ve worked in. Having an office can act as a crutch and leave you not explicitly focusing or working on this aspect. This should be our focus, not simply keeping up with the jones’ by getting back into the cube.
