All in Skills Building
I was asked which team is my favorite to work with in an interview recently, but I find that this is less about people than it is about context. The best teams work in a space of empathy and possibility. They actively give credit, they actively take blame, and they do not punish one another because they recognize the value of understanding over the value of absolutes and correctness.
These little details can kill even the best of ideas and the best of talent.

I am really proud of this little piece I wrote for our 40,000 fan mailing list yesterday. It covers so many areas in the consulting work we do over at AT&T in one little concise blurb. And simplicity is beautiful.
Pleasure is short-term, addictive and selfish. It's taken, not given. It works on dopamine.
Happiness is long-term, additive and generous. It's giving, not taking. It works on serotonin.
Both are cultural constructs. Both respond not only to direct, physical inputs (chemicals, illness) but more and more, to cultural ones, to the noise of comparisons and narratives.
