'“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” John F. Kennedy. You can learn almost as much about leadership from losers as you can from heroes. After 26 years of service with the Air Force , I have seen my share of both. I have had the honor of serving with superior commanders whom I would follow through the gates of Hell and the misfortune to suffer losers who stumbled blindly into a leadership position.

'I’ve done some crazy leadership things, and nearly all of them dovetailed with another love of mine – music. I’ve put on an Elvis costume and belted out “ Suspicious Minds ” at a management dinner (complete with the sideburns and cape). I did a call and response sing-along to “ Bennie and the Jets ” at a field staff meeting (at 8AM – a great way to wake up).

'Organizations have a way of maintaining the status quo through reinforcing the old way of doing things and discouraging the new way. Even with sufficient communication and training, individuals still may not do things differently, because the organization (or really everyone else within it) somehow prevents them from changing.

In a recent phone screen, I decided to use a class attribute in my implementation of a certain Python API. My interviewer challenged me, questioning whether my code was syntactically valid, when it was executed, etc. In fact, I wasn't sure of the answers myself. So I did some digging. Python class attributes. No one really knows when (or how) to use 'em.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs.
