I LOVED your post, Mike! Especially: "It is simply not fruitful to attempt to debate business logic with those who do not recognize logic to begin with" :D What a statement! The trouble is, from the perspective of CEO, the crazies sometimes don't reveal themselves so easily to you. They are not crazy enough to be crazy with the wrong people! SO, listening intently to the dynamics of your team is paramount. Thanks for a thoughtful, provocative, light and funny post! I love laughs that leave me thinking...
