I would go further; I question the value of making your employees drink the kool-aid; I mean, part of what you hired them for is so you have someone to trust when it comes to decision making time, right?
Exactly. Why would you give your employees kool-aid you wouldn't drink? Although I do agree with the author's advice on how to prevent it. Good lord do so many companies need to do 2 and 3.
I think it actively works AGAINST you in a technical business to try to / assume your employees are drinking your koolaid... Technical Koolaid still tastes vaguely like bullshit, which most geeks are somewhat opposed to.
