I used to think "they'll tell me what to build and I'll build it." I was plain wrong. Good business doesn't work that way. The more correct way to think is "we're going to figure out together what makes sense to build, from many perspectives, and then we'll build it iteratively and collaboratively."

That implies that on the way to success there will be a lot of communication, push-back, changing requirements, slipped deadlines, disagreements, compromise, shortcuts, refactoring, team meetings, celebration, interviews, promotions, and growth. The best companies have people who work well with other people. The best companies don't need prima donnas.
