Re:Can we stop enabling these people? (Score 1)

Actually I'm one of a group of the 'brilliant people' who can get it done but don't document (haven't been insulting staff members lately but I promise to try harder). I became a sudo manager last year and I've noticed something. As much as we can quickly and 'instantly' fix a problem. 'We' always have to be there to fix it. The organisation is under as much threat from a loss of knowledge or lack of stability because of these people as it is a loss of productivity if we lose them. Might be an extreme example but these days I want people who share with their team mates and take time to document because people that are ultimately a LOT more productive that the one off brilliant guys.
