Summary
- As an engineering leader, senior developer, or founder of a new startup, I want you to take a minute and think — really think — about a project you are currently working on.

- Because you recruited smart people, they will realize that no goal you set can be achieved due to unrealistic expectations.
- Another pattern that has short-term benefits but in the long-term will backfire, is to think, ‘I’ll set a goal which is very high, but I won’t let the team know that if we just reach 50% of it, that would be great.’
