I would not say either is superior. Rather both have strengths and weakness. It is truly is up the individual to take advantage of the educational opportunities available absorbing their strengths and seeking to fill in the weaknesses through other sources.

Leverage schools, co-workers, life experience, and personal curiosities, anything ... but do not shirk the burden of placing each in context with your goals and the problems at hand.

Is a job-centered education supperior to a liberal arts curriculum?

Agreed that hands-on learning, which in this case is euphemistically termed "experience", is probably the best teacher. :)

I am glad you agree "-)

Education in non-technical areas is a very good thing. I do have a confessed bias for learning under the tutelage of an experienced practitioner over formal education. In part due to my own "upbringing" and in part due to a strong belief that while education provides a broad structured knowledge base ... doing, even doing poorly, will net a better longer lasting understanding.

I agree 110%!

In organizational behavior class, we covered this type of situation. The architect might have some authority to enforce certain decisions, but the developers end up implementing (or not) the architects desires. Authority is not the same as leadership, though, and what you write about is how to build a leadership position, not a managerial or authoritative one.

For people used to being techies, the transition to politics is a hard one. The best bet is to get some education (reading books, taking classes is even better).
