The closest thing I've seen so far is the speech <a href="http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail188.html" rel="nofollow">Paul Graham gave on OSCON in 2004</a>. He talks about how you recognize "great hackers", how you get them to work for you and how to motivate them.Mike A.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-37679104799799480712010-12-31T14:11:37.374-05:002010-12-31T14:11:37.374-05:00Where I work, I don't have full attention from...Where I work, I don't have full attention from my management.

People credit the guy at the top - but too often for the wrong thing. Steve Jobs (and Bill Gates, for that matter) generally do a spectacularly good job of surrounding themselves with people who are passionate about what they do and excel in their field.Brian M.http://www.mulawka.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-80254332788756860902010-12-31T10:40:52.750-05:002010-12-31T10:40:52.750-05:00I'm curious, as a person that recruits and hir...I'm curious, as a person that recruits and hires (and probably advises on those practices) how much motivation to make a difference allows a candidate to overcome lack of experience or technical shortcomings? <br /><br />@IsaiahMcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-10233546372320371502010-12-31T09:54:20.080-05:002010-12-31T09:54:20.080-05:00Love it.Love it.Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-29931827579780118202010-12-30T21:20:09.350-05:002010-12-30T21:20:09.350-05:00"Real IT/security talent will work where they..."Real IT/security talent will work where they make a difference, not where they reduce costs, "align w/business," or serve other lame ends.<br /><br />I was emphasizing the point that motivated people want to make a difference. They want to bring good things to life."<br /><br />Absolutely agree. Or even perhaps cause someone to leave a company because all their work and passion makes no difference and isn't appreciated. Or even watches as all their work is dismantled, changed, or otherwise ignored. But we've probably all experienced that in some fashion or another if one has worked as a professional long enough.<br /><br />-cjdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
