A recent BusinessWeek article reported that, “According to a new survey of 1,500 chief executives conducted by IBM’s Institute for Business Value (IBM), CEOs identify ‘creativity’ as the most important leadership competency for the successful enterprise of the future.” While the study’s results will come as no surprise to hard-working creative professionals, they do raise an important question: How do we identify – and hire for – the qualities that add up to creativity?

Becoming a Geek

When I was eight years old, I fell in love with technology when I saw my mom pounding away on the keyboard of a word processor. I made her teach me how to type and I spent every moment I could on that word processor. Soon after, my dad got a Nintendo and a “real” computer with an actual screen instead of a tiny display. When I visited him, I used that PC as much as I was allowed, and woke up before anyone else in the house to play Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt on the Nintendo. My rule was to keep the volume so low that only I could hear it. I didn’t want to wake anyone up because that would disrupt my play time!

When I was fourteen, I started learning how to code HTML and built my first website from scratch. Then I dabbled in ASP and Java, and now of course CSS and PHP. I wouldn’t call myself a programmer by any means, but I do enjoy the process of “playing” with code.

You know you’re smart – but does the Internet? When a potential client or employer starts clicking around “digital you,” the pieces of the puzzle should be more robust than a one-sheet resume and a bunch of chatter about your social life. True, we can’t share everything we do at work, but there are smart ways to broadcast the ideas and activities that you spend the majority of your waking hours – your work day – busting your ass on. The online tools outlined here will help you paint a more complete picture of yourself. After all, it’s okay to show off when it’s deserved.

This new infographic compiles social data from the Fortune 100 global company index across the four major social platforms in Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Blogs. One of the most interesting statistics to come out of this chart is that 65% of the worlds top 100 companies has a twitter account, now that in its self might not be all that surprising, but in comparison to Facebook (54%), YouTube (50%) and blogs (33%) that’s a serious number considering the length of time that Facebook, YouTube and Blogs have been around comparability to Twitter.

On a percentage scale across all 4 social mediums, it’s interesing to not that only 20% of the worlds top 100 companies are using all four platforms to engage their followers, fans and workers.

The Workhaus brand concept developed out of the gradual virtualization (related content – great article here about the productivity gains, savings, environmental benefits and even increased safety of going virtual from Inc Mag) of our 12-year-old business and love of working in interesting places outside of our office. As our core staff and clients spread out around the country to live in places close to family or their favorite mountain or terrain, the idea of one central office was not only impractical but more importantly not needed. We have also always enjoyed and am a bit obsessive about creating workspaces.

We are excited about creating collaborative workspaces for people who usually don’t get to work in inspiring creative spaces. And we don’t just mean people who work from home. We hope to attract people who want a more healthy environment to work in. Workhaus is also great for traveling independent professionals who want to avoid the coffee shop shuffle. Imagine your office away from the office.  Workhaus lodges are for people who really love their work. It’s not a place to just socialize about work, but its is surely a place to get a lot of focus, collaborative support and business mentoring. We hope to attract members of all ages and backgrounds and from many industries.

The idea is to create an environment where people are serious about their businesses and have the support and social life of working in an office environment without the boundaries of working with ONLY their company. It’s not for everyone. It’s for people who can conduct their business in a light, mobile, and paperless fashion. We have seen co-working work well for graphic and web designers, techies, writers, consultants, sales people, marketing gurus, and especially bootstrappers who are doing all they can to get a business idea off the ground.
