There are many reasons to let geeks work the way they want to work. Today they work in every industry. They are the knowledge base, blood and sweat equity of many businesses. They work harder than most. They work longer than most.
Geeks work almost every moment they are awake. They are online before they go to the office. They are home working after the office closes. They work weekends. They are even sometimes working in their dreams.
#1. Let them work when they want
#2. Let them work where they want
#3. Let them control their lighting
#4. Let them wear Headphones
#5. Do not expect them to wear a suit
#6. Do not make them participate in company events (!= geek-friendly)
#7.Do not hold a lot of meetings that could have otherwise been handled through email
#8. Do not make them do anything other than work
#9. Do not force them to do something
"A person often of an intellectual bent who is disliked"---Its a Geek
"In a meeting full of pepole talking about release plan or business policy and you see a person writing algorithm, drawing diagram, writing mathematics theorem or solving sudoko"... I tell you the guy is a geeky.
I hope you understand the world of geeks and how to identify them , and how to keep them happy in my words....
Tell me what you think ?
