I saw this commercial last night and it still bothers me. I've seen too many businesses that created the wrong culture by celebrating the wrong accomplishments. As a former combat leader, I understand the desire to build strong teams that are willing to sacrifice to support one another; that are so proud of what we're building that they're willing to sacrifice for our work. But as a civilian leader, I don't want to build a culture that glorifies all-nighters or missed haircuts or time away from families. I want to celebrate building platforms that are so stable they run for years with no unscheduled down-time that require all-nighters in the first place. I want to celebrate forming teams that are so efficient that an iterative product release doesn't break a sweat. I enjoy building teams that make difficult tasks look easy on a regular basis. I don't know the details behind building this frame, but on the surface, it doesn't sound like something to be celebrated.
