Joy at Work: A Revolutionary Approach to Fun on the JobImagine a company where people love coming to work and are highly productive on a daily basis. Imagine a company whose top executives, in a quest to create the most "fun" workplace ever, obliterate labor management divisions and push decision making responsibility down to the plant floor. Could such a company compete in today's bottom line corporate world? Could it even turn a profit? Well, imagine no more. In Joy at Work, Dennis W. Bakke tells the
Imagine a company where people love coming to work and are highly productive on a daily basis. Imagine a company whose top executives, in a quest to create the most "fun" workplace ever, obliterate labor-management divisions and push decision-making responsibility down to the plant floor. Could such a company compete in today's bottom-line corporate world? Could it even turn a profit? Well, imagine no more. In Joy at Work, Dennis W. Bakke tells the true story of this extraordinary company--and how, as its co-founder and longtime CEO, he challenged the business establishment with revolutionary ideas that could remake America's organizations. It is the story of AES, whose business model and operating ethos -"let's have fun"-were conceived during a 90-minute car ride from Annapolis, Maryland, to Washington, D.C. In the next two decades, it became a worldwide energy giant with 40,000 employees in 31 countries and revenues of $8.6 billion. It's a remarkable tale told by a remarkable man: Bakke, a farm boy who was shaped by his religious faith, his years at Harvard Business School, and his experience working for the Federal Energy Administration. He rejects workplace drudgery as a noxious remnant of the Industrial Revolution. He believes work should be fun, and at AES he set out to prove it could be. Bakke sought not the empty "fun" of the Friday beer blast but the joy of a workplace where every person, from custodian to CEO, has the power to use his or her God-given talents free of needless corporate bureaucracy. In Joy at Work, Bakke tells how he helped create a company where every decision made at the top was lamented as a lost chance to delegate responsibility--and where all employees were encouraged to take the "game-winning shot," even when it wasn't a slam-dunk. Perhaps Bakke's most radical stand was his struggle to break the stranglehold of "creating shareholder value" on the corporate mind-set and replace it with more timeless values: integrity, fairness, social responsibility, and a sense of fun.Binding Type: Paperback

These sisal soap saver bags are an excellent value and very well-made.
They feel sturdy yet remain pleasantly soft on the skin during use. Keep in mind that they do arrive with a very strong natural grass smell right out of the package. I highly recommend washing them in a water and vinegar solution, then letting them air or sun dry before your first use. Once the smell is gone, they are absolutely perfect!

I prefer a thinner bag for soap. They are too thick for me.
Not what I thought they would be

The SCRUB
Color: 2 Pack
Perfect amount of abrasion for a mans skin. Gets all the dead skin off, without leaving red marks. it does eat your soap faster, but that just means you're cleaner or something, right? Anyway, great product, came as expected, didn't fall apart yet after a month of use. Very easy to use just throw your soap bar in there, and leave it in a wire basket to dry off after your shower.

Smooth Skin
Color: 2 Pack
Very happy with these soap bags. Once it's wet it puffs up quite a bit which makes it easy to handle as your larger your skin. My skin feels so smooth, especially my feet...feels as if I'd just had a pedicure.

Love a good natural material, I feel like it's really maximizing use of my soap bar, and it's a scrubby and exfoliating feeling everytime that I shower. Definitely recommend.
