The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. “Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?” he asked. “Begin at the beginning,” the King said gravely, “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” — Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
As companies expand, the people within them start to specialize. At such a point, some managers will conclude that they have a “keep everyone on the same page” problem. But often what they actually have is a “stop people from meddling when there are already enough smart people working on something” problem.

About Me: I am the manager of Network Development Engineering in the Network Planning and Integration group of Telecommunications and Networking Services, a division of Information Technology Services at the Pennsylvania State University. Did you get all that? Want a more Web-centric version? I am here: PSU > ITS > TNS > NPI > NDE. My team and I work on what is happening next in network equipment, services, technology, capacity, and connectivity. If you have ideas, I have ears.
