Set Them Free

I noticed Jeff Croft is writing on bureaucracy this morning. I've been having similar thoughts about this regarding my recent move to Naples News. Funny the similarities, too, in our situations. We were both at universities before our current news jobs.

It runs counter to corporate or academic structure to suggest this, but it's really true — hire great people, provide them with tools and resources, and leave them alone. There really is no way to hire average people, provide them with moderate tools and funding, and look over their shoulder at every turn and expect anything interesting from them.
