If people at their workplace were actively encouraged to work on their passion for 20% percent of the time, as long as that related to the institution, I believe they would be adding more value to their organization in the long run.
The examples he used of Mendel discovering the alws of genetics in his spare time, Froogle being invented during a programmer's 20% time, or Google Desktop bar being invented in another person's leisure time all serve as support.
It is a pity that most organizations do not permit their employees to engage in this principle more often.
