Switching pattern is really tied to learning and development and fulfillment. It could be that you want to work with other people. Like forming, storming, norming, performing, Tuckman's model, he forgot the phase called stagnating. Sometimes it feels like we're in a team for too long.
Sometimes you have that awesome team situation. It's an enjoyable experience. People are learning. You're looking forward to it every day. But the thing is, maybe that's a small startup that grows and you need to grow because you have a bigger vision and it needs to be more than these 10 people.
Even if you did, it would soon be obsolete because we did a really good job and now we've grown 2X or something and the process needs to change. The main thing I care about is are we just getting better every week, every month, certainly every year.
Reteaming is hard. Reorgs are hard. You can't lump them all into one thing with oh, it's all great all the time. No, it's not. If we could just build the software, deliver to the customer, get the product market fit, hey, have we delighted them or not? If only it could be that easy. No, we have the people layer, so let's focus there too.
