Lessons 2 and 3 should be printed and posted up in Vivek's office...

That's the kind of stuff I like to read. I'm definitively going to follow that up.

Lesson 3: Culture Trumps Talent
Getting everyone pulling in the same direction, working toward a single goal is not easy. I’ve seen over these years that personalities can strongly affect results. There can be differences of vision and opinion, and everyone should be heard, but, once we have a strategy, we all need to work together to fulfill it and put our individual issues behind us. It also means we need to have the courage to say, “We’ll not go for that player because, as much as he’s talented, he doesn’t fit into the culture we are building.” It takes guts to say “no” as much as it does to say “yes.”

This is the one I think Vlade also believes in most, and that he's working on the hardest.
