We fondly remember relationships, places, and significant experiences, reflecting upon how they shaped us and provided our lives with meaning. It’s not surprising then that we lament the loss of things we associate with those happy moments.

Many people have teachers that we particularly remember as having had an especially large impact on their lives and careers. For me, that teacher was Vincent Scully, who taught Architecture at Yale University from 1947 when he was still completing his PhD until 1991 when he officially retired. He was, for the vast majority of his career, the most popular teacher at Yale and typically was assigned the Law School Auditorium as it was the largest teaching space on campus.

Lesson 1: Sunk Costs It’s important to recognize when quality expectations aren’t being met and be realistic about the probability for a meaningful course-correction with the existing team.
