Hill-Making vs Hill-Climbing

Hill-making, hill-climbing, and hill-finding are all mentioned in this piece. A great metaphor to think through team interactions.

I’ve noticed that conversations between a hill-makers and a hill-climbers devolve quickly. One person thinks about terraforming the landscape. The other person assumes a fixed landscape that need only to be taken. Then there are others who will only ascend the hill if there is a clearly marked path before them.
