Manifesto Manifesto

3. Whether we choose to create or consume is influenced by other choices we make: have vs be alone vs together fear vs faith certainty vs uncertainty movement vs stillness political vs personal questions vs answers decide vs choose http://www.creativistsociety.com/manifesto http://changethis.com/manifesto/show/66.03.CreativistManifesto
4. We do work that is, first and foremost, intrinsically rewarding. But, when we make an impact, we expect extrinsic validation: We don't create solely for ourselves, we want to make a real and lasting impact in the world around us. We demand freedom, whether we work within companies or on our own, to run experiments, participate in multiple projects at once, and move our ideas forward. We thrive on flexibility and are most productive when we feel fully engaged. We make stuff often, and therefore, we fail often. Ultimately, we strive for little failures that help us course-correct along the way, and we view every failure as a learning opportunity, part of our experiential education. We have little tolerance for the friction of bureaucracy, old-boy-networks, and antiquated business practices. As often as possible, we question "standard operating procedure" and assert ourselves. But even when we can't, we don't surrender to the friction of the status quo. Instead, we find clever ways (and hacks) around it. We don't create solely for ourselves, we want to make a real and lasting impact in the world around us. We expect to be fully utilized and constantly optimized, regardless of whether we're working in a startup or a large organization. When our contributions and learning plateau, we leave. But when we're leveraging a large company's resources to make an impact in something we care about, we are thrilled! We want to always be doing our best work and making the greatest impact we can. We consider "open source" technology, API's, and the vast collective knowledge of the Internet to be our personal arsenal. Wikipedia, Quora, and open communities for designers, developers, and thinkers were built by us and for us. Whenever possible, we leverage collective knowledge to help us make better decisions for ourselves and our clients. We also contribute to these open resources with a "pay it forward" mentality. We believe that "networking" is sharing. People listen to (and follow) us because of our discernment and curatorial instinct. As we share our creations as well as what fascinates us, we authentically build a community of supporters that give us feedback, encouragement, and lead us to new opportunities. For this reason and more, we often (though, not always) opt for transparency over privacy. We believe in meritocracy and the power of online networks and peer communities to advance our ability to do what we love, and do well by doing it. We view competition as a positive motivator rather than a threat, because we want the best idea – and the best execution – to triumph. We make a great living doing what we love. We consider ourselves as both artisans and businesses. In many cases, we are our own accounting department, Madison Avenue marketing agency, business development manager, negotiator, and salesperson. We spend the necessary energy to invest in ourselves as businesses – leveraging the best tools and knowledge (most of which are free and online) to run ourselves as a modern-day enterprise.

8. The Stoos Statement
9. Cluetrain Manifesto
9.1. Reflecting on leadership in organizations today, we find ourselves in a bit of a mess. We see reliance on linear, mechanistic thinking, companies focusing more on stock price than delighting customers, and knowledge workers whose voices are ignored by the bosses who direct them. All these factors are reflected in the current economic crisis, increased inequity, bankruptcies and widespread disillusionment. There has to be a better way. In January 2012, a diverse group of twenty one people including senior executives, business strategists, managers, academics, and lean/agile development practitioners from four continents, met in Stoos, Switzerland. We believe that we uncovered some of the common characteristics of that better way. For example, that organizations can become learning networks of individuals creating value and that the role of leaders should include the stewardship of the living rather than the management of the machine. Most importantly, we committed to continue our work, both in-person and online. A problem this size will require many minds and hearts. We’d love to hear your voice and your experience. Help move the conversation forward by joining our LinkedIn Group and on twitter with hashtag #stoos. Let’s start the transformation, before it’s too late. http://www.stoosnetwork.org/
9.2. A powerful global conversation has begun. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter—and getting smarter faster than most companies. The Cluetrain Manifesto is a set of 95 theses organized and put forward as a manifesto, or call to action, for all businesses operating within what is suggested to be a newly-connected marketplace. http://www.cluetrain.com/

12. Core Protocols
13. Manifestos are from an era when information moved slowly, but at the speed of light, there’s no time to declare your intentions … everything is made public as it happens. Today a traditional manifesto arrives as a footnote to reality, just in time to make sense of a motion that’s already transpired. Our actions and the reactions they excite are now the only meaningful declaration possible. The manifesto can no longer be separated from the reality it hopes to manifest.
