Thanks Joshua and Steve. Totally agree. I think it's also important for companies to hire the weird people but it's equally important to understand how to get the most out of them. [hint] You don't do it with structure and processes.

HR doesn't like weird-can't be categorized for ease of command and control; need to teach weird in school and have “weird” as a performance factor… also goes by the word #creativity see Edward de Bono and @catchyourlimit

This topic has been coming up for me lately as well. I'd go so far as to say that the companies that figure out how to hire more weirdos, will be the ones to sustain and succeed and innovate. I love the idea of intentionally seeking the weirdos. Being a bit of a weirdo myself, I always enjoy being presented with a difficult problem and finding a creative solution.
