Leading Geeks Presentation

How to Manage and Lead People Who Deliver Technology

Today every manager must learn to lead geeks. Geeks deliver and support the technology that drives efficiency, effectiveness, and competitiveness of real businesses. In fact, companies have become so dependent on geeks that 92% of technology professionals work for traditional, non-technical corporations and only 8% work in high-tech firms. Yet, most managers and executives find that geeks are difficult to fathom and even harder to lead.

"Paul Glen's insights and experience provide the keys to unlocking the potential [of geeks]."

-Warren Bennis, co-author Geeks and Geezers

This Entertaining, High-Content Keynote Will Show You:

Why Traditional Approaches to Leadership Don?t Work With Geeks

Immediately Applicable Approaches to Geek Leadership

"Insightful and delightful"

- James Champy, chairman of consulting, Perot Systems Corporation

"Paul Glen provides excellent advice for managing geeks. But his insights apply equally well to the challenge of leading any group of specialists for whom esoteric knowledge is more important than power, and expertise more determinative of social dominance than bureaucratic hierarchy, including actors, athletes, university faculty, musicians, doctors, and bond traders."

- Steven Sample, president, University of Southern California
