"An important property of teams is that they abstract the complexities of the individuals that compose them."
~ Will Larson, An Elegant Puzzle
The organization will thrive on the back of solid technology, or suffocate under a mound of rubble. Engineers are the stewards of the technology, and must create leverage for the business to succeed.
"Technology cannot speak for itself, and requires effective advocates on its behalf."
~ Will Larson, Staff Engineer
I encourage debate for most topics. Debate should not be left to chance, it must happen purposefully!
"... when a leader engages the team in making the most vital of decisions, they distribute this lead. Informed by a collective intelligence, better, more thoughtful decisions are made."
~ Liz Wiseman, Multipliers
The most effective growth comes through unleashing questions and challenges, and allowing others to learn through natural consequences.
"Leading is not about knowing, directing, and telling. Rather, seeing, provoking, asking, and unleashing."

Each team member is responsible for the team's success and must be reliable to their teammates, partners, and stakeholders. The team must seize opportunities and fully own and commit to the decisions they make.
"I give youspace; you give me back your best work. ...I give you permission to make mistakes, you have an obligation to learn from the mistakes and not repeat them."
~ Liz Wiseman, Multipliers
Growth and success comes from meaningful and realtime feedback and being held accountable.
"If you can build a trusting relationship with people so that they feel free at work, then they're much more likely to do the best work of their lives."
