Let's Grow Leaders

My husband looked at me in bewilderment as I explained why I couldn’t buy that “perfectly good” house in the neighborhood with the great schools, close to his work, UMD where I teach, BWI airport, our church, and our gym. “I love the house.

A motivated 10x engineer in one team could be a demotivated 0.5x engineer in another team (and vice versa). A average 1x engineer could easily become a 5x engineer if surrounded by 10x engineers.
