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:
- Portuguese: Como NÃO liderar geeks, translated by Cesar Cardoso
- Spanish: Como NO liderar geeks, translated by Matías Agustín Bellone
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!
