How not to manage geeks - in Italian
Marco Bertola has translated one of my most popular pieces in Italian - a post that lists the 10 most common mistakes that managers of geeks make. It is consistently one of the most widely read on my blog - probably because geeks and managers still approach work in very, very different ways.
You can find the Italian version here:
How not to manage geeks / Come NON dirigere i geek
Grazie Marco!
This post is also available in:

And of course, the original (in English) is right here.

Hadn’t read the original before but it’s spot on. One of my best friends is an business analyst/programmer which makes her like a translator between geeks and management. I think one of the reasons she has been such a successful contractor is simply because she is able to effectively communicate with both. Great article!
