Hi Ruchir, I also noticed this article yesterday. Have you read comments to the article on HBR website?
I think that mostly the critique there is valid and the author seems not fully understand software development business, a simple math doesn't work here. However I would say that 'is it better to higher 5 great developers or 100 good' greatly depends on your business and while first option may be better for Facebook, the second one is only valid for Accenture. -- Best regards, Alexander Levashov Altima Interactive - custom web development www.altima.net.au email: alex.levas...@gmail.com Wednesday, June 22, 2011, 3:11:52 PM, you wrote: > Hi all, > I read a fascinating article today - > http://blogs.hbr.org/taylor/2011/06/great_people_are_overrated.html > . > I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on this article. > Thanks, > Ruchir -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
