Please buy a copy of this book for your boss. Clockwork orange them if you have to. This insight is so true that it's upsetting to me; the entire industry is so OBSESSED with individual performance, with "meritocracy", that almost all the *actual* outstanding historic results achieved by this industry are quietly done behind the scenes by groups that are isolated in the lee of some budgetary stone, allowed to build a safe and harmonious group dynamic.

@glyph@mastodon.social sounds like a great read. The software part in the title lead me away but seems appropriate for any technical design from my experience and what you wrote here.

@glyph@mastodon.social I'm gonna have so much homework (good kind) after finishing the book. I've started keeping a pencil with my copy so I can circle the references that I want to follow-up on and at least skim for myself. The temptation to circle *every* reference is real, but it's such a thoroughly documented review of the subject that this would be a very tall order.
