How to manage geeks

An article from Computerworld on how to manage geeks.

Speaking as a geek, I can say that article is sound. Old school management practices will not work. Once you understand the geek, you’ll see that typically the best thing to do is let them do their job… get out of their way, shield them from crap, do things to enable them to get their work done.

And then we shall… and it shall be productive and glorious. 🙂
