It's been years since Phil Libin helmed the organization-apps maker Evernote, but he just can't resist trying to reshape the exhaustively inefficient business world. This founder is now running two remote companies with a total of 130 employees, and he spends a lot of time rethinking the post-industrial economy for knowledge workers. How do we measure asynchronous productivity? Can we eliminate the oppression of the persistent "on" of the internet? Can meetings be fewer and better? Why can't our baseline be trust? At 51, the serial entrepreneur has learned to trust--and he has learned plenty more.
