I would say more broadly "take the ego out of work". In tech, we meet so many people who are emotionally attached to their work, who would treat their production as 'their baby'. This is a terribly common counterproductive bias. It prevents from: - taking criticism productively: people "put their soul" in their work, and then someone tells them it's perhaps not the best way. Do hear them. - assessing one's position objectively: people who are attached to their work often misconstrue their vision with the reality of the work. They tend to minimize weak points and emphasize strong points. - delegating your job away: people infatuated with their work have a hard time giving it away. Necessarily, the delegate will screw it up. That should be rule number 0 of all jobs: Be invested in the mission, not in the solution
