Let us all hope that we are on a team (or are working toward being on a team) where these principles are taken seriously and respected. My experience is that the work environment is usually so chaotic that these types of considerations don't come into play. Then again, I don't work at MS. Probably things are different there.

Have you noticed any difference between those that have worked directly with customers and those that haven't in any of the dimensions you portray above?

Not only do I think its true, but it resonated for me in a really cool way. I actually felt peaceful as I read it. Yes, this is true and it sums up so much of what I know to be true but wasn't able to articulate as well. Very well done. I really like this.

It's nice to shift focus to the people. All software is for people! Software has never paid me or thanked me as a developer. The following article also focuses on the people involved in development projects and the qualities they must bring to the table. <a href="http://leadingbytes.wordpress.com/2009/09/30/qualities-only-people-bring-to-projects/" rel="nofollow">Qualities Only People Bring to Projects</a> I like the theme of this article.

I read your blog and I always find practical and applicable gems there. I can remember one called "Lead, follow, or get out of the way" about "Yippee-ki-yay, project buster!" That was timely one back then. For this one i liked trust and risk the most Thank you for your great insights! How's Tesla so far? ;) Eric,
