Every business wants workers who passionately love their work. And for good reason: workers who are inspired are more productive, and passion can provide the energy necessary to fuel engagement, amidst obstacles and setbacks. But while passion seems clearly desirable, recent psychological research suggests that not all forms are adaptive. In fact, some forms can be downright detrimental.

Don't Pitch Airtight Ideas; Start a Conversation... The last pitch most technical people entrepreneurial enough to leave a well-compensated job for a startup with no income want hear is one where a product-oriented founder presents an airtight idea that has no room for discussion whatsoever; every single pixel and user interaction has been planned, as has the business model and everything else.

The legends of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and other high-tech entrepreneurs have fed a stereotypical vision of innovation in America: Mix a brainy college dropout, a garage-incubated idea and a powerful venture capitalist, stir well, and you get the latest Silicon Valley powerhouse.
But the Boston VCs never showed up. And this was true for YC as well. Boston VCs invested only once or twice in Y Combinator companies and after one (I believe) of the Y Combinator companies in the Summer of 2008 received investment from Boston, YC pulled up stakes, headed permanently to Mountain View, and absolutely nothing changed… except now almost all YC teams were now closer to where they...

Steve Perlman, Silicon Valley’s self-styled Thomas Edison, has found a way to increase wireless capacity by a factor of 1,000. The plot is Ayn Rand. The triumphant ending is pure Steve Perlman. Slowly but surely, the VCs coax her into bad financial deals. Her work grinds to a halt. All seems lost. But then the old crew of misfits comes to the rescue and gets the girl to go back to the garage...
