File this under "Olddie and Goodie".
Dave Thomas gave at QCon in 2007 entitled Developing Expertise: Herding Racehorses, Racing Sheep... and it's kindof fabulous.
What really struck me about this talk is not just how the Dreyfus Model of Skills Acquisition can be used to help focus... but also how, truly, no amount of "process" or "technique" can compete with straight-up engaged people.
Cultivating engagement is one of the #1 responsibilities in a leader. To play that role and do otherwise is to be part of the problem. In this talk, Thomas makes plain the downstream consequences.
