Things change - customer demands change - technology changes. You - as a company - have to be flexible enough to invest more in the current good and ditch the bad. &nbsp;</p> <p>As a employee it is even more critical. We all know engineers who have be &quot;left behind&quot;. Good companies hire &amp; keep passionate employees - and I do think that some are never satisfied. Is that not a good thing? I think as long as you can corral the employee and give them there space to purse the passion - very little bad can come from that.</p> <p>(steven.dorfmeister@eds.com)</p>http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2006/11/12/the-glass-is-10-full.aspx#547658Fri, 08 Dec 2006 06:28:16 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:547658Keith Combs<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://blogs.technet.com/mjmurphy/archive/2006/12/07/what-is-an-evangelist.aspx">http://blogs.technet.com/mjmurphy/archive/2006/12/07/what-is-an-evangelist.aspx</a></p> <p>See? &nbsp;More passion and optimism... </p>
