Best Way to Manage Geeks?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the things-you-love-to-hate dept.

drummerboy195 writes to tell us that he recently read a 1999 interview with Eric Schmidt, then CEO of Novell, and wondered how applicable the information was today. How much have things changed since the dot com bust in terms of management? What other good and bad techniques have Slashdotters seen evolve from both supervisory and supervised positions?

    This stuff should so not be modded as troll... it is pure 100% funny when some little 15 year old Hax0r d00dz get their hands on old bbs ascii art work and think it is really cool... reminds me of the time a 15 year old kid came up to me and tried to 'educate' me about this band he had just started listening to... he thought they were really cool and underground... this was two years ago and the band was Nirvana... he kinda missed the boat on that one.

    a Good Manager knows the lesson of an aircraft flagman
    Sometimes you direct (actual management)
    Sometimes you go with the flow (why mess with success)
    Sometimes you GO FOR THE PHONE (this is when you have a Plane trying for negative relative altitude rapidly)
