How to Be a Leader? | Qualities and Secrets to Inspire
summary
A small company reallocates two engineers to a new partner project, prompting questions that reveal sales pursued the deal for eight months and projections showing rapid growth; engineers build a proof-of-concept test automation and pair-program weekly with less-experienced devs, product reserves weekly time, and the team ships quickly — but post-launch gets less than a fourth of expected signups and near-zero revenue, so the team runs blameless postmortems and codifies fixes.
