Dedication

For Staci: my best friend, my wife, an Ironman, and mother of our children.—Dave

This book is dedicated to the clients and students at all my consultancy gigs for being open-minded; to the ThoughtWorkers for the good times and the bad times; to the other TSEs for being Googley; and to my friends and family for loving me anyway, even though they didn’t always understand.—Ade
