If, however, you find yourself in a work environment that does not support your higher good, that prohibits emotions and passion, that requires you to wear the corporate cubeface, that punishes you for having a life outside of work, that has illogical rules for success like "work 70 hours a week and look and act like the CEO", then it may be time for you to considering going Cubeless.

What Is a Cubeless Corporation?

I would like to point you to a vision of a cubeless world. One in which you build and life while you build your business. One in which you build multiple revenue streams, some active and some passive. One that is integrated with the life you want to be living.

Attributes of the Cubeless World

1. You feel passionate about the work you do.

2. Your work is an expression of your true self.

3. You are free to express your passion and all of your other natural, human emotions.

4. Cooperation is valued over competition.

5. Mindful parenting is viewed as important and challenging work that adds to your value as a worker.

6. An abundance mentality provides prosperity for all involved, not just those at the top.

7. Office spaces are wherever you work most effectively and efficiently (i.e. park bench, coffee shop, home office).

8. Work hours are flexible and determined by your body clock, lifestyle, and inspiration.

9. You are free to pursue many interests simultaneously.

10. The point is not to climb a linear, vertical career ladder, but to try on different works, fail joyously and repeatedly, while building wealth, having fun, and learning.

Do you think that I am a dreamer or idealist? Let's remember that we build organizations to work for us. We band together to make our work more efficient and easier. If our organizations aren't working, then we must change them.

The first step in shifting from a Cubeworld to a Cubeless Company is to shift the corporate culture. We have the technology to go Cubeless, but most corporate cultures live in the shadows of fear, mistrust, and control left over from the industrial era. To remain competitive in today's business climate, companies must proactively improve their corporate culture.
