I really appreciate this article. What I most appreciate is a teammate who brings vision but then lets others join in that vision while it's still only half baked. Doing so creates buy-in and momentum early.

Great episode, I love the messages here. Especially the final message in understanding your delivery, I think that is missed by many who don't examine these biases.
