"So, I went to France on holiday last week and was dissapointed when I got back that I hadn’t actually eaten a single slice of apple tart.

Art Kleiner: Corporate Culture in Internet Time

2008-06-27T09:16:22-07:00

"If the hype people (who are often at the top because they're closer to the financing) think of the craft people merely as "resources" to be hired and deployed, then the entire business will be akin to a commodity. If the hype and craft people recognize what they have to learn from each other, and how much their businesses depend upon both of them, then they can engender a culture greater than the sum of its parts, and perhaps a culture resilient enough to withstand the turbulence of the next few years."
