-How to hire the best people you've ever worked with
(Good article from a guy who made the web possible on why should hire based on drive and passion, not on smarts. Comparison between Google and Microsoft)
-How about a braided career?
(Brazen Careerist: Base your career path on doing what you love, not a single office to go in and out of for 40 years. Put your demands up front--which means figuring out what you want from life now.)

(How inspiration from the greats tends to lead to derivative work and how the aversion to that affects us.)
