“Twenty-one lessons sounds like a lot, but they really come down to a few core ideas: stay curious, stay humble, and remember that the work is always about people - the users you’re building for and the teammates you’re building with.”

“People won’t take risks if they think they’ll be punished for it. If you want a fast-moving team, you have to build a culture where trying, failing, and adjusting is normal.”

People quickly and rightly create adaptations and self-censor. What I’d add to this this list is that persons in power positions must first model and uphold accountability for the desired behaviors. Leading by Directive rather than by Example is no leadership at all.
