Learning Ruby

I am attending a training on Ruby and from what I have learnt so far, my take about the language

Knowledge Worker

I was attending a workshop over the weekend on 4 roles of leadership and one of things we were discussing was the difference between an industrial age worker and knowledge age worker. Very interesting specially because i was relating it to another video I saw the other day on why bonuses don't work. The 3 basic difference between Industrial and Knowledge age worker area.

• Job Description Vs Unique Contributions
• Employees/Subordinates Vs Volunteers, Associate, Partners
• Control Mind Set Vs Unleash Potential/Release mind set

On comparing this with the other video i talked about, it is the fact that a job which needs to do a set of mechanical job corresponds to a industrial age mind set and the other is more on creative aspect/aspect of unleashing potential.
