Tom DeMarco
“Any vigorous competition will entail at least two elements: offense and defense. Offense is the effort you put into scoring against your opponents, and defense is the effort you apply to stop them from scoring against you. Those who suggest that "a little healthy competition can't hurt" are thinking only of the offense part....

The offense component of internal competition is problematic, but the defense component is always injurious. When peer managers play defense against each other (try to stop each other from scoring), they are engaging in anticooperation.”
Tom DeMarco, Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency

Tom DeMarco
“Lack of power is a great excuse for failure, but sufficient power is never a necessary condition of leadership. There is never sufficient power. In fact, it is success in the absence of sufficient power that defines leadership.”
Tom DeMarco, Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency
