Leadership principles are amazing and are used by everyone.
If you get a bad manager via a reorg, it can be very bad. Always keep your options open and transfer around as needed. Don't let complacency trap you!
L8 leaders need to be constantly evaluated for their ability to calibrate their staff. URA goals are rough, but with good leaders, it is great. With bad leaders, mass attrition happens.
