Angry IT workers: A ticking time bomb?
- bootload 18y ago"... It's the Captain Kirk school of management. Scotty says it's going to take 48 hours to fix the warp engines, Kirk says you've got two, and somehow Scotty gets it done. But the real world doesn't work that way' ..." In the Captain Kirk school of management there was a common enemy, objective and strict hierarchy of command. Kirk, Bones, Spock, Scotty. As a team they work well. Bones empathises, Scotty the practical, Spock logical and Kirk the emotional who inspires. The one time Spock the logical is left in command all hell brakes loose, cf: Series One, Galileo Seven ~ http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/The_Galileo_Seven_ http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/The_Galileo_Seven_(episode) or http://is.gd/2ZeI http://is.gd/2ZeI Organisations need leaders like Kirk to take into account the whole picture, the logical and illogical. Someone has to inspire, push and sometimes demand the impossible to hold-off the bunch of Klingon's breathing down their neck. Commercial companies are no different. They have to make profit even if it's Raman-profit. Another reason to be a founder and not a technical follower.
