	3	+The world is now changing at a rate at which the basic systems, structures, and cultures built over the past century cannot keep up with.

	13	+It’s possible to build an organization where every worker is monitored at all times, where every job is sliced as thinly as possible and outsourced to the cheapest possible person. That organization can be centrally controlled, algorithmically managed, and brutal in the way it makes choices.
	14	+
	15	+And it’s also possible to build an organization where each employee is a valued contributor, where work schedules and locations are set with flexibility, and where the decisions are surfaced close to the customer and cycled through the organization. An organization like this might pay people really well, or it might be fully volunteer, where the work itself is the reward.

	17	+
	18	+//The answer begins simply with: //we need to choose.
