Have you ever been asked that stupid question 'Would you rather be the leader of a mediocre team or just another team-member of a brilliant one?'
For a very long time I was OK with either. I don't know why, but I suspect it's because I'm getting older and my patience is running thinner and thinner, but now I would rather be seen as the dumb member of a great team than to look around and see the people that I'm supposed to work with, even for a limited amount of time, and think 'how the hell have these idiots got here?'
