Building and managing a team, there’s a basic compact about how we work together. Each team is different. Most work out the way they do things…
You have a sophisticated and fully featured understanding of your world. You know what is in play, why it’s there, who’s working on it and how everything got to where it’s at. You understand the nuances buried in the woodwork. You appreciate the subtleties and the compromises and the conditions when they became embedded.
Few other people do, and, for most of them, it doesn’t matter. They care about today. What they have to do, and where it fits into the bigger picture.
