Motivating Geeks

How to Motivate Technical Staff Without Breaking the Bank

Motivating Geeks is Different from Motivating Other Employees

When budgets are tight, it's more important than ever to get the best performance from the people who deliver, support and deploy technology. But over the past decade, managers have fallen into the trap of believing that motivation requires ever larger bags of money. In fact, the most effective ways to motivate geeks don't cost that much. Getting the best from your people requires clearly understanding what really motivates them.

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

? Warren Bennis, co-author Geeks and Geezers

"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
