HBR | When Your Employees Know More Than You →
Great method for managing knowledge workers and an excellent reminder. For years, I’ve managed employees with specific knowledge and expertise different than mine. I’ve found it to be incredibly rewarding. In Summary: Bosses - park your ego at the door, have passion for your work, play to strengths (instead of shoring up weaknesses), do not waste anyone’s time, establish...

E.M. Stark :
…good privacy practices can support innovation by reinforcing confidence in users that they have the right to control their personal information and that the technology they use is secure.
