The Provocateur

When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully. â Samuel Johnson

The Provocateur creates deadlines, enemies, and the occasional impossibility. Teams work best when they donât have time for the crap. Deadlines bring people together and focus the collective mind. An external enemy can move a passive team into action. The Provocateur never takes the deadline too seriously. The product is always ready to ship. But she gently reminds the team of the stakes: fail, and we all look for other jobs.
