Bizarre. Organisations love to use the term geek in a derogatory manner. Often dismissive. Often excluding. And yet when we have a problem be it IT, medical or simply plumbing we would love to have access to a geek. A person who is so good that they understand the simplicity the far side of complexity. They look at the problem and they know what to do. In music, shoe polishing, theatre, pizza, tailoring there is still evidence of a deep desire to be supremely good at what you do. In business we are still happy to wing it and deride those with expertise. Bizarre.
