New Franklin's Graduate Goals

"Good video-game designers know how to draw us in by catering to some very basic emotional needs.  The best games have four elements: clear goals that allow us to feel a sense of purpose; rules that make the task harder and thereby challenge our creativity; rapid feedback to chart our progress; and an experience that is voluntary.  Wouldn't it be nice if work were more like a video game?  Your boss would articulate a clear mission and set of milestones you were expected to meet. You would receive ongoing feedback about your progress.  The truth, of course, it that reality is messy.  Our goals are fuzzy, our progress unclear.  Video games, the majority of which now focus on getting us to cooperate rather than compete, offer a more fulfilling existence."  

                                                                                                                --Chris O'Brien in the San Jose Mercury News quoted in The Week Feb. 11, 2011
