My million dollar question: "Do you think a Results Oriented Work Environment (ROWE) would prove to be effective in the MENA region?" I am a big believer in empowering the people we work with and creating a flexible work environment that adheres to various work practices. Unfortunately, I see a reluctance from some to remove the polarized, strict, and "iron fist" management style in few public and private operations in MENA. What do you think? Is our workforce not ready? Are people not motivated, loyal or dependable here? Do managers worry about losing control? Can/should we break free? For those of you who are unfamiliar with the ROWE model, the Wikipedia definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROWE |

الفكرة ستنجح حين يكون لديك فريق مبدع. أفراد رياديين بطبيعتهم، يجبون الابتكار، لديهم شغف بالمنافسة ولديهم ولاء للشركة. أما إذا لم يكن الفريق يتميز بتلك الخصائص فإن الإنتاجية ستكون قليلة، على المستوى العام، ومتذبذة حسب الاحتياجات المالية لأفراد الفريق. أعتقد أن الفكرة قابلة للنجاح في المنطقة، لكن إذا تم تنفيذها بشكل تدريجي جنبا إلى جنب مع النمط التقليدي، بتقسيم موظفي الشركة إلى فريقين. ثم شيئا فشيئا يتم التخلي عن النمط التقليدي لصالح نمط ROWE. |

I currently use ROWE in managing my startup http://www.goyemen.com/ and it works really well; However, my startup is tiny, and ROWE fits us really well. I guess it could be a bit challenging when you have a more formal corporate structure. |

Why not give equity for incentives with a vesting schedule instead of ROWE ? |

I guess the on of thing is having a mechanism to detect the success and failure of the idea early. If you are result oriented you have to detect failure early and never get attached to the idea, drop and move forwards. |
