In this interview Bill Fischer touches upon the most significant differences between Digital Cowboys and previous generations and MORE importantly how leadership and education needs to change to accommodate them.
Bill states that historically organizations go to GREAT lengths and pay PREMIUM t0 hire GREAT people, and then turn these people into AVERAGE PERFORMERS. Digital Cowboys will not accept this model of MEDIOCRITY. All our lives and those of previous generations it has been about holding on to people, I think in the FUTURE we will see less emphasis on holding on to people and MORE emphasis on SHARING THE RIDE, a free agent mentality.
