climbing the leadership ladder: from manager to director to VP - interesting perspective about managing in different directions and "If the things that you love are communicating, unblocking, and coaching, you must do more of that at higher levels."
Senior Rotations - "The basic concept is that every Senior Engineer and
above (back then that meant Staff, Principal, and Distinguished) was entitled
