Abstract
Craig Fields has managed high-technology research and development organizations at the cutting edge of innovation, both in the federal government and, currently, in the private sector. Fields sees his belief that, as a manager, he must cultivate a consensus among talented colleagues as a commonality in his management style at both the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation. His government career was cut short, however, when one of his new initiatives led to his dismissal. In this case, Fields reflects on the different circumstances at DARPA and MCC.
