The secret of open office success

摘要

Former Secretary of the Treasury Paul H. O'Neill-whose signature is probably still on many of the bills in your wallet or purse-has, over the years, become a self-taught expert in creating more open and collaborative office environments. Such a style was not always the case for O'Neill's digs. In the '80s a movie studio paid $500,000 to use his office for the Michael J. Fox film "The Secret of My Success." And when O'Neill worked for the Office of Management and Budget, he had such a lavish office, with paintings on loan from the Smithsonian Institution, that he thought it intimidated people.
