The environment must encourage every single player to bring out their ultimate, holding nothing back – not only during brainstorming, but also by making casual suggestions freely, cutting across disciplines. 

Just like film-making, software product building is never about one person or even one team. User requirements, technology, architecture including AI, testing, devops, product marketing, finance and user-validation must all come together by empowerment & trust. All this is built by a team of experts who get together for a couple of years with a single purpose. 

There will naturally be disparity in payouts & perks, depending on the seniority of the role, experience, & market rates. But it’s the Head’s responsibility to create an  environment which encourages intermingling in a structured way, where inputs are welcomed across the board.  

While each member can give his best, it becomes easier if he is surrounded by team members who share the same vision & mindset. When every team member is empowered to contribute fearlessly, there’s enough room to skirt individual egos. 

P.S. The casually placed Obsidian symbol in the main image depicts the ‘brain’ that is being planned for each enterprise, as an AI based  knowledge repository to catalyze all the operations.
