It's funny how most of this advice is about "controlling" employees and making them perform. I wonder what happened if Github was interviewed for the same article.
Github's got a huge advantage though: Massive product/employee fit. Every person who works there probably uses the product personally on a daily basis. That really helps smooth things over and has to be a semi-secret weapon for them.
Yes, a lot of the GitHub doctrine of letting people choose what to build is great and a refreshing change from a lot of other IT companies. But doesn't apply for an IT company serving the construction industry.
