How Smart People Work
It’s the magazine’s tagline — and it’s how Fast Company approaches business leadership and innovation. So I’m not surprised that ex-Microsofty Scott Berkun’s new ChangeThis e-book piques my interest; it’s entitled How to Manage Smart People.

- Make people visible
- Ask them what they need to do amazing work
- Respect the talents they have, that you don’t
