I do believe that
the human component is the most important one in any professional environment.
If people like what they do, or even derive pleasure from this, they will be
able to reach an excellent level. This means that they should like their work
and at least get along with their collaborators. Any kind of pressure should be
derived from the desire to achieve things. I do also believe that people learn
best "by doing" - this involves all levels and components: theory and
experiment; undergraduates, graduate students, post docs, faculty, engineers,
technicians and managers. In teaching, working with people or leading colleagues,
one is often tempted to do things "for them" because they get done
faster. This is wrong, they will never learn. Although sometimes I had to, I
generally refuse to "tell colleagues what to do". I prefer to discuss the goals, and the methods, and
to define the path together.
