I've yet to meet a superb marketer or manager who thrives in a stifling environment.

That repeated stereotype among techies reflects the closed-mindedness of cliques rather than some supposed 'liberated' viewpoint of hackers.

If a marketer or manager thrives in such an environment, there is a good chance they are mediocre at best.

Creative people keep banging against the limits corporate rules impose on them. Those who don't bang are not creative.
