Renewal

“The worker at bench or loom must put something of himself into his work, and as constantly draw upon his work for the renewal of that self.” Ray Watkinson, from ‘William Morris as Designer’.

Most of us now work at desks and computers, but the human need for self-expression and mastery is still there – and allowing for it still delivers the best results.

The knack is to be clear about where there is room for interpretation, and where not. And then to leave that space empty, to be filled by the person doing the job.

Workflow isn’t the answer.

Discipline makes Daring possible.
