In a blog with active commenters, the best stuff is usually in the comments. Yesterday was one of those days, in talking about managing development teams toward goals. Adrian said, 

“First and foremost, the people on the ground have to be rewarded by the work itself.  Dates represent angst and fear.  Release notes are small sighs of relief – and most importantly – progress.”

His response was really worth pointing out. Enjoy the read, and feel free to jump in.
