The sign of a great leader isn’t their individual contributions but the contributions of those around them It’s a different muscle you have to learn over time and something a lot of engineers struggle with when being given the opportunity to oversee someone else’s work. Lovely to hear Rebecca 🙏

This was a great read. I had conflicting thoughts when I visited it at the erasure of Nintendos individual designers, I was upset that there was no creditation to the people. Reading this has given me a new found opinion on what their museum represents broadly beyond just history.
