Companies don’t realize their developers often make decisions without leadership involved (to build their own infrastructure because it’s fun) that then burden the company with supporting such systems indefinitely. At the expense of a simpler more maintainable app.

When you're trying to set culture, you need to prioritize high-trust environments and the delivery of feedback. You cannot let yourself be "casually cruel in the name of being honest" even just a little bit or trust and culture will degrade. - @rstephens.me @ #monktoberfest

And I draw on Mary Parker Follett’s work; it’s from ~100 years ago, but not only deserves a place in the formative history of the system design (and leadership) field, but in the discourse that helps shape our understanding and approaches today.
![page from material linked upthread, with quotes:
The "Law of the Situation"
"Our job [..] how to devise methods by which we can best discover the order integral to a particular situation."
DYNAMIC
ADMINISTRATION
- Mary Parker Follett
"understand the situation, must see it as a whole, must see the interrelation of all the parts [..] must do more than this. He [sic] must see the evolving situation, the developing situation.
His wisdom, his judgment, is used, not on a situation that is stationary, but on one that is changing all the time."
— Mary Parker Follett, 'The Giving of Orders'
"That's always our problem, not how to get control of people, but how all together we can get control of a situation."
