Re Billg’s use of lists, I was taught by Paulma to constantly maintain two similar lists — biggest business/technical problems stack ranked, and strongest team members stack ranked. And if you didn’t have good alignment between your best people and your biggest problems, you probably needed to rethink things. Did billg use the lists the same way?

I love this line: "Bill seemed to think in two dimensions."

This insight: "Perhaps what I ended up learning more than anything, was just how much the initial seeding and DNA of a group end up defining the outcome."

And this acknowledgement: "As much as it hurts to say, these groups did not need Bill’s help. That is difficult to say."
