The 10 most awesome things from Valves employee handbook - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

The 10 most awesome things from Valves employee handbook - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog I recently had a chance to read the employee handbook from video game company Valve and its the single most inspiring such document I have ever seen. I play some video games myself (the Bioshock and Dead Space franchises are my favorites), but if you dont partake you may never have heard of Valve so heres the skinny from Wikipedia: Valve Corporation is an American video game development and digital distribution company based in Bellevue, Washington, United States. Founded in 1996 by former Microsoft employees Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington, Valve became famous from its critically acclaimed Half-Life series. It is also well known for its social-distribution network Steam; and for developing the Source engine. Valve is privately owned so few financial figures are known but they have 300 employees and Forbes estimates the companys worth at $3 billion. Their employee handbook was recently released on the web and it explains how theyve become so successful. Here are the top 10 most awesome things from the document. 1: Valve has no hierarchy Hierarchy is great for maintaining predictability and repeatability. It simplifies planning and makes it easier to control a large group of people from the top down, which is why military organizations rely on it so heavily. But when you?re an entertainment company that?s spent the last decade going out of its way to recruit the most?intelligent, innovative, talented people on Earth, telling them to sit at a desk and do what they?re told obliterates?99 percent of their value. That?s why Valve is flat. It?s our shorthand way of saying that we don?t have any management, and nobody ?reports?to? anybody else. We do have a founder/president, but even he isn?t your manager. How cool is that? 2: Pick your projects We?ve heard that other companies have people allocate a percentage of their time to self-directed projects. At Valve, that percentage is 100. Heh :o) Screw Google and their 20% time to work on your own projects. Valve turned that dial to 11! 3: Dont forget the long term Because we all are responsible for prioritizing our own work, and because we are conscientious and anxious to be valuable, as individuals we tend to gravitate toward projects that have a high, measurable, and predictable return for?the company. This sounds like a good thing, and it often is, but it has some downsides that are worth keeping in mind. Specifically, if we?re not careful, these traits can cause us to race back and forth between short-term opportunities and threats, being responsive rather than proactive. So our lack of a traditional structure comes with an important responsibility. It?s up to all of us to spend effort?focusing on what we think the long-term goals of the company should be. In many, many workplaces where employees are unhappy and frustrated because their workdays are entirely taken up with putting out one fire and then the next, leaving no time for long-term planning of any kind. Valve try not to fall into that trap. 4: Dont stress over the things you dont do It?s natural in this kind of environment to constantly feel like you?re failing because for every one task you decide to work on, there will be dozens that aren?t getting your attention. Trust us, this is normal. Nobody expects you to devote time to every opportunity that comes your way. Instead, we want you to learn how to choose the most important work to do. At most workplaces there is a huge and unrelenting focus on the things employees havent done. Almost every meeting, email and phone call are intended to remind people of the next deadline and how far away they are from reaching it. Valve try to take the pressure of employees so they dont stress over the things they dont do. 5: We test ourselves rather than simply trusting each other to just be smart, we also constantly test our own decisions Yes. Dont believe your own hype. Test your decisions and adjust as needed. 6: Overwork is bad While people occasionally choose to push themselves to work some extra hours at times when something big is going out the door, for the most part working overtime for extended periods indicates a fundamental failure in planning or communication. This is a brilliant slap in the face to all members of The Cult of Overwork, ie. everyone who believes that the key to succes is simply to work more hours. 7: Enjoy yourself Sometimes things around the office can seem a little too good to be true. If you find yourself walking down the hall one morning with a bowl of fresh fruit and Stumptown-roasted espresso, dropping off your laundry to be washed, and heading into one of the massage rooms, don?t freak out. All these things are here for you to actually use. And don?t worry that somebody?s going to judge you for taking advantage of it?relax! And if you stop on the way?back from your massage to play darts or work out in the Valve gym or whatever, it?s not a sign that this place is going to come crumbling down like some 1999-era dot-com startup. If we ever institute caviar-catered lunches, though, then maybe something?s wrong. Definitely panic if there?s caviar. In short, you should feel good during your work day. 8: Youre free to screw up Nobody has ever been fired at Valve for making a mistake. Providing the freedom to fail is an important trait of the company ? we couldn?t expect so much of individuals if we also penalized people for errors. Yes! I cannot stress enough, how important it is to let employees make mistakes. In fact, we should celebrate mistakes at work. 9: Its not about growth We do not have a growth goal. We intend to continue hiring the best people as fast as we can, and to continue scaling up our business as fast as we can, given our existing staff. Fortunately, we don?t have to make growth decisions based on any external pressures ? only our own business goals. And we?re always free to temper those goals with the long-term vision for our success as a company. Ultimately, we win by keeping the hiring bar very high. Yes! Way too many businesses are slaves to growth goals that are arbitrary, unrealistic and ultimately meaningless. As Ricardo Semler put it: There is no correlation between growth and ultimate success. For a while growth seems very glamorous, but the sustainability of growth is so delicate that many of the mid-sized companies which just stayed where they were doing the same thing are much better off today than the ones that went crazy and came back to nothing. There are too many automobile plants, too many airplanes. Who is viable in the airline business? 10: Hiring Hiring well is the most important thing in the universe. Nothing else comes close. It?s more important than breathing. So when you?re working on hiring everything else you could be doing is stupid and should be ignored! Again, this is brilliant. Nothing undermines a strong positive company culture faster than hiring people who dont fit in. In short, this is a fantastic document and one of the coolest things about it is that its maintained by the Valve employees themselves, who are free to edit it on their intranet.

Think insurance as an entrepreneur is a bad bet Think again (aka My response to Leo Babauta of Zen Habits and his ridiculous advice)

Think insurance as an entrepreneur is a bad bet Think again (aka My response to Leo Babauta of Zen Habits and his ridiculous advice) Please dont hit me, I dont have health insurance tote from PapaLlama In my 4 years as a blogger, Ive never done what Im doing right now. I never read a post (by someone Im a subscriber toor otherwise, come to think of it) and got so enraged that I dropped everything to post a response right now.    There is nothing more important to me in this moment in time than to respond to How to Make Health Insurance a Bad Bet on Zen Habits. You can find the post here. Please read it through (skimming is fine the jist is very easy to get), and come back over. Just in case you didnt see it, heres my absolute favorite/most enraging part: What you’re really throwing away: For my family, a high-deductible insurance policy can cost $4,000-5,000 a year (about $350-400 a month). For a smaller family, it would be less. A lower-deductible insurance policy costs a lot more. Assuming a monthly payment of $380 and an annual return rate of 8%, if you invest that instead of spend it on insurance, you’d have  $250,000 in 20 years. More, if you adjust the payments upward for inflation. That’s a big amount to gamble on something where you have less than 1% chance of using.() As you get into your 50s, your odds go up, and into your 60s, they go up a lot. Most people who have heart attacks or cancer are in their 60s or older. Same thing for frailty, Alzheimers, hip fractures, etc. As you get older, it gets very likely you’ll need expensive health insurance. But I’m 39, and my family is younger than that, so we’re not in serious danger at the moment. Now, Leo Babuta is one of those Big Bloggers with a huge subscriber base, and when I think of all the young, self-improvement-prioritizers, mostly (aspiring) entrepreneurs reading this, and having them cancel their insurance and as Leo suggests build up savings/investment of at least a few thousand()for unexpected medical needs.I start shaking. Id be lying to say that this post didnt hit home in a very personal way for me. Like, a super very personal way. All my usual readers know that I was diagnosed with Stage Two breast cancer on Nov 25, 2011 at the age of 33. You can read what the last years been like for me here  if youre new around these parts, but the main points are that I did not carry the gene (despite a family history of cancer for every one of my relatives over the age of 70), I was down/upgraded to Stage One, I went through 2 lumpectomies + 4 rounds of chemo + a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction, and I was finally declared cancer-free on June 5th of this year. I thank my lucky stars each and every day that Im a heterosexual, married woman and that Ive been on my husbands (stellar) health insurance since I quit my corporate job in March of 2010. This year alone, I paid $4,649.49 (yes, I added up all my receipts) for tons of co-pays, insane amounts of medicine, an office visit for an out-of-network doctor, a trial to allow me to keep my hair (didnt work, but I still had to pay for it), a service that keeps my embryos frozen (cause chemo puts me into early menopause, and as a 33 year old without kids, my husband and I didnt want this option taken away from us), and 1 night in a private room in the hospital. Most of the large expenses were choices on my end: to try to keep my hair, to get a private hospital room, etc. I look at that figure and breathe a sigh of relief each and every day. Despite the cancer, I consider myself a lucky lady in every other regard. Now, I cant get the exact figures of what I would have had to pay sans insurance for all of my appointments, medications, and treatments, but I think you can get a taste of it based on the receipts I have that told me what I should have paid. Here they be: The pills that cost me $10 every time are listed on the receipt as costing $59.17, $105.25, $32.59, $45.99, $67.49, $77.49.so lets say 3-11 times what I pay for them, and I have at least 20 receipts from Walgreens for this year alone. Lets say, on average, I wouldve paid $1,000 for my pills and instead I paid $100. My plastic surgeons office visits + my breast reconstruction surgery cost $20,750. I paid $25. And keep in mind that this doesnt include the fee from the breast surgeonshe performs the first part of the surgery, and the plastic surgeon only does the reconstruction piece. I would think the entire surgery + office visits would be close to $50,000. I paid $50. My husband had to inject me with a syringe after each one of my chemo treatments, which costs $3,821.25. Times four (one for each round of chemo). My cost? $20 each. $100 total. Four visits to my oncologists office: $1,100. My cost? $100. Do we get where Im going here? Do I need to figure out the other charges and then put them up against what my husband and I were paying for our insurance every month and show how I saved hundreds of thousands of dollars while only shelling out a few thousand?    I dont think I do. Im sure you get the point. The $250,000 that Leo said you could save (in 20 years!) by investing your $380/month instead of spending it on insurance could be gone in a matter of weeks. Welcome to bankruptcy, or worse. I know this is getting long, but my point isnt done being made. Leo wrote that: So what if you get into a bad accident or get some unexpected disease? Isn’t this invitation for bankruptcy? Well, how often has this happened to you? In my 39 years, it’s never happened, and most people I know haven’t faced this either. Again, let’s use rational arguments instead of fear. Want some rational arguments, Leo?  Use me and my breast cancer diagnosis at 33 (and yes, doctors described me as young, thin and healthy even after the cancer diagnosis). Use my client and friend Steffanie, a young woman in her 30s who had to have brain surgery last year (no, she didnt have any of the Risks you talk about) that wouldve cost her $30K (and $5K/mo for medication) at a minimum. Use the 872 members in my Young Survival Coalition Facebook  group, all of us diagnosed under the age of 35. Use a close friends sister-in-law, a woman in her 30s or 40s (Im not sure of her exact age) who suffered a brain aneurysm just last week. Talk to Matthew Zachary who founded Stupid Cancer, an organization that works for the 72,000 (!!!!) young adults ages 15-39 who are diagnosed with cancer every year. And then? Talk to my friend and former client Lisa, a 34 year old who was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer just months after she lost her young husband to cystic fibrosis. Actually, you cant t alk to Lisa. She passed away three months ago. I think of her every day. Yes, we should all do what we can to make ourselves healthier. Exercise, eating few-to-no processed foods, not smoking, etc should be done by everyone (unsure where/how to start? Get this book STAT the content inside isnt as close to eye roll inducing as the name suggests). I agree. But just because you dont smoke, have protected sex, never drive, and are under the age of 50 doesnt mean that your health insurance is a bad bet. On the contrary indeed. Of course, everyone should pick the plan/deductible they feel comfortable with and hopefully Obamacare will pass and us entrepreneurs wont have outrageous costs for ourselves our families anymore and theres no need to pick the most expensive if you know youre relatively young, thin and healthy. Because, Leo? Anything can happen to anyone at any time at any age, no matter how many miles they run or green smoothies they consume every day. And one more thing. Its a bit of a petty point but I cant not say it. Your post is extremely condescending to myself and everyone I mentioned above those whose own actions did absolutely nothing to bring on their diseases. I had someone tell me that she thought cancer was brought on by stress.which implies that the patient brought the cancer on themselves. Its preposterous. And so is your advice. I would like to highly encourage you to take down your post, or at least update it with some of the facts, stories, and figures Ive given you here.  I invite you, Leo, to post your thoughts in the comments or send me an email at michelle(at)whenigrowupcoach(dot)com. Given your large audience base, I hope you take this responsibility seriously. As a young (thin and healthy) breast cancer survivor, I know I do. P.S. Leo, I just noticed that you said we should have regular screenings for cancer. The only such screening I know of is a genetic test that insurance wont pay for unless you prove that theres cause to give it to you (meaning you have a strong, early family history or youve been diagnosed yourself). I was told that it would be $8,000 out of pocket if I was rejected by insurance. Thankfully, I wasnt but I know others who have been. Do you mean a mammogram, or a biopsy? Please let me know if you know of any other cancer screenings that Im unaware of and dont cost thousands out of pocket. NOVEMBER 9th UPDATE: While I did not get a personal response from Leo, I was just alerted that he added an update to his post. He wrote: I’ve gotten a lot of negative feedback on this post. I’m OK with that, as I don’t expect everyone to agree with me and actually appreciate opposing viewpoints. It’s caused me to reconsider my recommendations in this post, so I’ll clarify my position here: I don’t recommend that most people forgo health insurance. This is what I believe is best for me and my family, and I offer this post as an alternative to the mainstream view. I hope you’ll give these ideas some thought, but don’t make decisions based on one person’s example. These issues are too important to just go with what I’m doing. While I wish that he would have rewrote the post so that this was expressed at the beginning of the article and that his accusatory tone would have softened to more of an opinion (as well as including points made above and in the comments: having the cost of his familys medical care fall on other people; the cost of mundane things like having babies and the sudden onset of asthma; the mental toll a bankruptcy-causing illness can take; the cost of needing ongoing medication; etc. The brilliance in these comments has not gone unnoticed, and I appreciate everyone who rose up with me this week). Im glad he at least added this disclaimer. I dont know what other negative feedback hes received, but I have a feeling hes heard all of us loud and clear. Now lets hope that impressionable entrepreneurs can separate what hes doing with whats best for them. If youre interested in hearing more about my self-employment/cancer/insurance roller-coaster this year, a video interview I did with Laura Simms on Oct 31st was posted yesterday. Good timing, huh? Click here in case you need more proof on the importance of being insured as an entrepreneur and/or you want to know how my cancer affected my workload, my self-care and my healthy habits its all there.

First Jobs TOMS Blake Mycoskie and Kiva Jessica Jackley

First Jobs TOMS Blake Mycoskie and Kiva Jessica Jackley What does it mean to be a success? In the days of railroad barons and oil tycoons, it might have meant amassing the most cash possible. These days, the idea of true success has shifted towards the “social entrepreneur” â€" those who can create thriving enterprises while bringing about positive social change. Everyone from Microsoft’s Bill Gates to Virgin’s Richard Branson are deploying their business acumen to help the causes that are most meaningful to them. We talked to a few of the world’s top social entrepreneurs about how they got their start. Scott Harrison Founder, charity: water, which brings safe drinking water to the developing world First job: McDonald’s “I was around 15 in Flemington, New Jersey, and applied for the job cold. I ended up taking orders and working the takeout window for absolute minimum wage. They did sweeten the pot with free food, though, which for me usually meant Quarter Pounders with cheese. “Once I volunteered to dress up as the Hamburglar to hand out coupons because you got paid time-and-a-half. It was a pretty ridiculous costume, with a hat so big that it was difficult to get through doors. I had to tilt my head to one side. I was so terrified of getting recognized by my friends. “I remember that the restaurant floors were always slippery with grease, which was kind of gross. And the uniform was not very attractive on me, topped by that plastic webbed hat, not a good look. Nowadays, I’m a pretty infrequent visitor to McDonald’s, usually in an airport somewhere. But I am partial to McFlurries.” Jessica Jackley Co-founder: Kiva, a microfinance site, and author of “Clay Water Brick” First job: Art teacher “I always had a real passion for art. Where I grew up, in a suburb north of Pittsburgh, there was a little family-run art studio. So after 10th grade, I started teaching skills like drawing and painting to kids as young as three. “Nowadays, my life has been taken over by my own boys â€" four-year-old twins and a nine-month-old baby â€" so that art job has served me well. As a parent, I am always walking around with a long list of arts-and-crafts projects in my head. “What I took away from that job was the ability to teach: To be able to meet somebody where they are and walk them through something totally new. I am also pretty good at getting people inspired about something. I like to face a problem together and help them figure out where they want to go.” Blake Mycoskie Founder: TOMS, a retailer that provides shoes and other services to those in need, and author of “Start Something That Matters” First job: Doing laundry “I was going to Southern Methodist University in Dallas and injured my Achilles tendon playing tennis. I couldn’t carry my laundry to the basement, so I looked in the Yellow Pages for a company that could do it for me and nothing like that existed. So I decided along with my college roommate to start a laundry service. “We bought an old FedEx truck for $1,500. Our innovation was that we recognized the target customer was the parent, not the student. So we set up a table at check-in at the beginning of the year, and charged one price for an entire semester of laundry, something like $300. We were basically selling parents peace of mind. “We were pretty successful, eventually expanding to six universities with 50 employees, and sold it after a few years. But I absolutely refuse to do laundry now. I did more laundry than you can ever imagine. At the time it really sucked, but like anything in life, you look back on it with nostalgia.” Sally Osberg President and Chief Executive: Skoll Foundation, which invests in social entrepreneurs, and author of “Getting Beyond Better: How Social Entrepreneurship Works” First job: Swimming teacher “I was 16, and I taught swimming with the Parks Rec department of Huntington Township, on the north shore of Long Island, New York. The kids were between 5 and 9 years old. The first thing you had to do was put your face in the water and blow bubbles: Some took to it like ducks to water, and some were absolutely terrified. “In order to teach swimming, you had to get lifeguard certification, and that was a frightening business. The woman who put me through my paces was quite testy, and her job was basically to try to drown me. I had to do a ju-jitsu move and then rescue her. It wasn’t fun. “The thing I remember most was that fear, and the courage it takes to overcome it, is huge. Whether it is learning to ride a bike, or putting your face in the water for the first time: To know that you have the capability of conquering your fears is an essential life skill.” Close Modal DialogThis is a modal window.

Is a Balanced Work-Life Relationship Overrated

Is a Balanced Work-Life Relationship Overrated Is a Balanced Work-Life Relationship Overrated?Why maintaining a work-life balance should notlage only be possible, but a priority. TWEETSome people will tell you that in an always-on digital world, theres no such thing as a balanced work-life relationship. Your phone is always with you, which means emails, texts, and other private notifications are always a ping away.Despite being a prisoner to a mobile phone myself, Im going to take the balance side, and heres why you should, tooYour healthYour work means nothing (heck, you potentially wont even be able to work) if your workload and associated work stress causes you to be unhealthy.Your efficiencyIf you cant draw the line between work and home, both usually suffer. Split attention equals haphazard results. Ironically, overwork and work stress actually make you less efficient even though youre spending mora time working. Fact The 6-day workweek used to be a U.S. standard, until Ford Mot or Co. saw increased productivity in its early 20th-century assembly lines after giving employees an entire 2-day weekend.Your enthusiasmWhen you dont get a weg to recharge and attend to all of your other human needs that are essential for a balanced life, you are more likely to get irritated, mistake-prone or worse, burned out. This burnout can apply not only to work, but also to life in general as these boundaries get blurred. Do you know anybody who hates their job and talks about it all the time because it affects their everyday mood? You dont want to be that person. With a balanced life, you wont be.Your sanityThe more you let work stress creep into everyday life (or the longer you go without taking an extended break from work), the more you want to tear your hair out. Productivity and mental clarity decrease. Youre more likely to be sensitive to little negative things that usually wouldnt affect you because you cant get enough distance to take the proper perspective.Your caree r prospectsBurnouts tend to linger for longer than peak productivity lasts if you dont get fired first. Better to either reinvigorate your job at your current organization by striking the right work-life balance or take a proactive look elsewhere if the organization will not support your needs. Remember, employers and employees both have a responsibility to promote productivity and mutually beneficial value.Your personalityUnless you have the most interesting and varied job in the world, youre only going to be a one-dimensional human being if you never get outside of it. Dont be boring Fresh perspectives gained from hobbies, interests, and outside reading are going to make you better at your job and a balanced life. You will have more diverse and creative ways to think about what you do, which makes for better output (not to mention a more engaged working experience).Your lifeIf you work at least 8 hours a day Monday-Friday and sleep at least another 7, that leaves no more than 9 h ours for the rest of your life on weekdays. In other words, you probably spend at least nearly half your weekday waking life at work for a large portion of your adult years (outside of grad school or retirement). If work fills up increasingly more of that waking time, it dominates your life. And chances are, you want to do more with your life than work, even if you love your job.So, when people tell you theres no such thing as work-life balance, tell them you dont appreciate their cynicism. The balanced life fairy does exist, and shes good to people who take the time to address their full needs as human beings or at least know when to call it a day.Ready to find your dream job?
