The issue is not whether or not you need to work in teams - we all do - and we all need the support services. The issue is what form should those teams take? Traditional top down father/ child employment structures or more grown up (with greater freedom) in a looser network of associates? I´m arguing from experience that the looser relationships are actually stronger and not weaker as the traditionalists believe. Regards Neil @Dave McHugh

Hi Dave – good point – you don´t!

The issue is not whether or not you need to work in teams – we all do – and we all need the support services.

The issue is what form should those teams take? Traditional top down father/ child employment structures or more grown up (with greater freedom) in a looser network of associates?

I´m arguing from experience that the looser relationships are actually stronger and not weaker as the traditionalists believe.

Good point Andrew. For some reason the spell checker wasn´t used on this post – when it should have been.

Interestingly, their wasn´t anything wrong with the spell checker, it was a problem with the process.

But we don't need those anymore since a spellchecker will fix everything right?

Another reason to hire freelancers then? I’ve just read – in the UK alone – British Business will pay £216m in wages for staff who throw a sickie after the xmas party according to CBI estimates.
