Letter to a Young Engineer (from a purported Honda employee) - Boing Boing Gadgets
"After praising Honda a few days ago, we got a great email from a pleasingly enthusiastic engineer who asked to remain anonymous. He claims to be working at American Honda in Torrance and I'm inclined to believe him, but bear in mind also that this didn't come from a Honda email domain nor could I confirm that he's employed by American Honda. Even so, I loved his email and thought I'd share it with you."
"Honda is a freak, by American and even Japanese standards. There is an absolutely astounding amount of room here for anyone to work once they get in. The view is Global and the focus is Local. No one has ever told me what to do. One Rule - Dream. We find our way on an individual level, as reason, interest and inclination dictate, and this is an ultimate form of unequaled personal power to affect the future. In Honda, our own best interests are at the forefront of every day life at work and home. In engineering, there are no lines of demarcation segregating futurists from the present applications of science. There is nothing so esoteric that doesn't deserve a close inspection, and there is a common belief here in doing things the Hard Way. Even so, the core philosophy of the company could best be described as the pursuit of Joys...........>
