Bazaar vs cathedral people management
As a manager, you should ask yourself: are you building a cathedral or a bazaar? And as an employee, you should ask yourself: do you prefer working in a cathedral or a bazaar?
In Cathedral vs Bazaar People Management, Ben Balter explains how these two styles of software development are indeed also styles of people management. He also explains how they can differ by industry (eg army needs more hierarchy than startup), individual (junior might need more structure than senior) and role (of course, it depends on what you do).
