My sincere admiration goes out to team 842 for stepping up and doing this. Not only does it take courage to implement this sort of culture-changing effort, but it takes even more guts to come on this public forum open themselves up about it.

They didn't have to tell us, and they don't need our approval to do this. But... they do, and we learn from their efforts.

As a fellow mentor, I am inspired by this. For those of you who "don't get it", "don't understand", or think it's "not fair to the boys", you need step back, think a bit, and read what Fredi posted above.

Go 842!

Sincerely,
Andy Baker
