Nonetheless, I beg your pardon, because I do not subscribe to your entire strategy, all be it stimulating none the less. It seems to me that your comments are actually not totally rationalized and in actuality you are yourself not entirely certain of your point. In any case I did enjoy looking at it.

Often you learn a lot more by failing that you do by succeeding as you demonstrated your learnings here. Wish I could have been there to share the learning. Next time... -Mike Blake:

It was interesting hearing a couple of teams say how great it was that they ran democratically, but I felt they would have accomplished more with someone specifically at the helm. Just because someone leads the team doesn't make it that individual's project, nor does it diminish the rest of the team members' contributions.

I think most of the groups expected the founder (person with the idea) to be the leaders. But, this shouldn't always be the case. In SSR case, myself or Randall should have stepped up and taken on the role of CEO, or at least brought the matter to everyone's attention.
