Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“If she is agile—if she welcomes and responds to questions that may uncover what is in the decisionmakers’ minds, while remaining alert to opportunities to use a question as a springboard to advance a key point.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, My Own Words

Michael Lopp
“I’ve been talking about the ins and outs of local mandates so far. These are situations where you are the decision maker, which gives you access to a wealth of information as well as all of the players. In any decent-sized organization, you are equally likely to be on the receiving end of foreign mandates. This is a mandate that occurs way outside of your sphere of influence. We have a brand new strategy. Ready. Go.Yes, the tables are turned. Mandates might just randomly show up and there isn’t a thing you can do about it. Guess what? The same rules mentioned previously apply, with one exception. Just like your team, you are going to have one of the three opinions (yay, boo, or yawn) regarding the mandate. Regardless of what your opinion is, you must figure out the justification behind the mandate.”
Michael Lopp, Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager
