Comments on: (Successful) IT People Characteristics http://paimeiitguy.wordpress.com/2008/08/20/successful-it-people-characteristics/ Some mindless meanderings from an IT and Project guy - direct from the trenches Fri, 04 Dec 2009 19:09:33 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Lui Sieh http://paimeiitguy.wordpress.com/2008/08/20/successful-it-people-characteristics/#comment-166 Lui Sieh Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:13:07 +0000 http://paimeiitguy.wordpress.com/?p=395#comment-166 Hi Les, Thanks for dropping by. Yes, probably more folks are like a Scotty type than a Kirk type. However, the interesting thing is that the whole bridge crew all represent an archetype of an IT guy. Scotty is I think a typical techie toiling in the datacenter somewhere or in the service management side. Kirk is a model I think for what successful IT managers/leaders need to be. And Kirk was successful because of the team he had around him. Everyone had their place. Cheers, Hi Les,

And I don't just mean the time estimates to finish a repair... Can’t resist a good Star Trek reference, but surely any good IT person has more in common with Scotty than Kirk?
