I'm starting to see a trend in Google PR.
I've read the latest book from Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg, where the main argument is "we are the best because we have the smartest people on the planet working for us". That's the main point to explain many of the things that they do.
This article seems on the same line.
- petervandijck 12y agoExactly, been like that for years. Also, it works because it's true to a significant degree.
- awakeasleep 12y agoI'm an IT lead at a much smaller company, and I run the same kind of setup. We're not the smartest people on the planet either. But I do hold every hire to the standard of "will this person increase our average capability?" And I think smartness or motivation does have something to do with that. (We also have system administrator level people as our first level support) However, most companies don't put that level of effort into their IT org. This article is worth reading because it says that your company can benefit by holding the front-line support to a high standard, and paying to attract talented people to that position. That is a radical proposition to most companies. The only thing that could shake up the industry more is if they said they required IT leadership to have technical ability and insight.
