On Management
What Joel Spolsky wrote on http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2012/02/the-management-team-guest-post-from-joel-spolsky.html I think is applicable to all company. The point that needed to be paid attention is
- Hire Smart People.
- Give the smart people that you hire real authority.
- Management is there to help smart people do their job, not preventing them from doing it.
- You’re not Steve Jobs, so stop thinking and micromanaging like him.
- Once again, you’re not Steve Jobs, stop wearing those black turtleneck sweater and New Balance snickers.
