Giving up control of parts of the business & designing the company so that everyone is a strategist.
-Philip Rosedale, Founder, Second Life explains some of the key lessons we can take from the success of secondlife.com-
I found this video really insightful about Linden Labs activity based management as well as its opening discussion on client side and browser accessability for virtual worlds. With regards to the management within the company, rather than inspiring creativity by say portioning one day a week of an employees schedules whereby they can work on their own projects (e.g. the innovation culture at google), employees at Linden Lab create their own weekly work schedules, consulting others on these schedules, openly justifying and being held accountable for their contribution to the company. This is done in a open and transparent manner in which all employees can see anyone else's work list each day via company e-mails.
Watch the interview on youtube.
