Quotes

“Leads are not the responsibility of one function. They're the responsibility of an overall org. You have to incentivize all them to accomplish against that. But helping to build objectives that they share, and then holding them jointly accountable and then giving them a language to speak to, to each other for collaboration. And then again, getting out of their way to let them do that, stepping in as needed to set direction or to help solve for specific issues. To me that's the recipe for success.” - Seth McGuire
