Introduction: The Origin of "Work Naked".

Why Work Naked? The Eight Work Naked Principles.

PRINCIPLE #1 Initiative: Shedding the layers of complacency, fear of change and resistance to new ways of working.

PRINCIPLE #2 Trust: Shedding the layers of management control, outdated performance measures, and mistrust.

PRINCIPLE #3 Joy: Shedding the layers of overwork, high stress, and sleep deprivation.

PRINCIPLE #4 Individuality: Shedding the layers of conformity, one-size-fits-all routines, and fixed work hours.

PRINCIPLE #5 Equality: Shedding the layers of hierarchy, status symbol, and dress codes.

PRINCIPLE #6 Dialogue: Shedding the layers of one-way communication, misunderstanding, and idea-hoarding.

PRINCIPLE #7 Connectivity: Shedding the layers of geographic boundaries, reliance on co-location, and misuse of technology.

PRINCIPLE #8 Workplace Options: Shedding the layers of unproductive work environments, dreary home offices, and long commutes between them.
