A truly fantastic read for me as it relates to my week over week woes working for a software company that is striving to be the top in it's industry and eventually purchased. Being involved in leadership here, I see the anecdotes being sold down about criticisms or decisions being made by truly remarkable 'uncredentialed' people and hear things from the old blood like:
"Well, bob such and such thinks a lot of things, but he really doesn't have that much experience or understand the code base or customer needs"
or
"He's obnoxious and do we really think he knows what X customer wants, get Suzy on it from leadership to show the powerpoint on what we are planning, Bob isn't good at selling the vision".
It ends up 6 months later that we end up messing up that feature and Bob ends up being the one right all along and we are doing it anyway and the original feature or design was just from the leaders own head, entirely missing the mark.
