On Friday, during likemind CGN, I had an interesting discussion with a couple of guys. We started off, talking about the future of recruiting and soon had a controversial debate on corporate culture and new styles of work. Both topics I find hugely interesting.

Not only have I worked as a management consultant with corporations on enterprise 2.0 and change management topics. As an entrepreneur I have a huge impact on the corporate culture at talential.com myself. We are a decentralized - almost virtual - company, thus making it essential to establish new working styles, rules of interaction and cultural values.

I will try to post more about these subjects in the next months. Some of my most controversial arguments were

• fire (all) your managers
• employees should select their boss (aka "leadership is defined by followership")
• employees should choose their own salary
• job titles are toxic
