provided the opportunities to take on successfully more challenging environments. And most of them
came in places where I either did not have authority to do things or I didn’t have sufficient authority to
get things done and needed to get other folks enrolled. Needed to be able to work across
boundaries. Need to mthis was a collaborative environment and that I was ake sure that people knew
going to be open to them so ... we did that and on the (project name) we got very early on into a
discussion where we ended up forming a very early quick team which went across the (name) contractor
boundary. We brought in some folks from academia and it was a – it was kind of an interesting
environment because on the one hand it was helped by the fact that it was right after we found out that
the (fact that we were faced with what was border lining device) was flawed. So it was helped by the
on a national catastrophe: that we’d put that much money, that much time into a (device) that was
supposed to change the world and it wasn’t working right. And on the other hand, we were moving so
fast that we had to get people working on stuff and committed to doing things and they had to believe
that we weren’t going to get screwed in the end. When we finally got around to letting things like
contracts catch up with the work we were goingdo, that people weren’t going to walk away with all to
their ideas and give their work to other folks. So that was a big learning experience for working
across that boundary, because we were able to build those kinds of relationships and got an awful lot of
work done. The net result was not only did we were we able to get to the point where everybody –
was made whole so nobody ended up either losing their intellectual property or losing money on any of
the deals. But we were able to get through and
