Talks a bit about this phenomenon of a really productive small group. - Patrick Collison
Too many companies believe people are interchangeable. Truly gifted people never are. They have unique talents. Such people cannot be forced into roles they are not suited for, nor should they be. Effective leaders allow great people to do the work they were born to do.
— Warren Bennis, Organizing Genius
