Did you play sports? This reminds me of playing highly competitive tennis and what it takes for a high-performing athlete to remain high-performing. I love how you used the paths of inner and outer "game" to help engineers better think about how they show up in the space.
I would love to hear you speak about how as a manager you can monitor the inner & outer game of your team to be more effective, or perhaps - the other way around how do developers communicate their parts of their inner game to enable managers to be better for them.
Daragh - great read.

This is actually adapted from The Inner Game of Tennis, which was a coaching phenomena many years ago!
That's a good question. I guess openness of communication/psychological safety is part of it. Let me think about it.
