COMING ApriL 21, Stephen’s 8th Book, You’re Not Playing with a Full Deck
My most successful project was co-led by someone who drove me crazy.
He was my opposite. He was detail-oriented and focused on deliverables, whereas I was driven by novelty and coolness.

When we figured out how to work together and value each other’s contributions, magic happened.
