Management: Analysis and Synthesis

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

I created “Management Bits and Tips” category to write my thoughts on management and just realized how this category title fits into grand scientific modeling approach:

Analysis (Bits) -> Synthesis (Tips)

Contrast this with pure analytic approaches

  • “Management Bits”
  • “Management Bytes”
  • “Management Bits and Bytes”

or with pure synthetic approach “Management Tips”.

I was thinking about “Management QWords” category but abandoned that thought because QWord sounds to me as an abbreviation to “Cursing Words”. “Management DWords” ?

Perhaps I have to start a separate blog otherwise debugging community will complain for this off topic :-)

Expertise-Driven Motivation

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

There are many X-Driven motivations out there but I prefer expertise-driven individuals, motivated by the desire to become experts. It is not bullshit as you might think. It is more like a persistent psychological state found in researchers and scientists and the best results are guaranteed when it is supplemented by money-driven positive feedback loop. I’ve seen such people in both software engineering and software technical support environments. It is very interesting topic and I might come back to it later.
