*Trait 4: Think in systems
Werner used the Yellowstone wolves as his illustration on this point. Reintroducing wolves to the area triggered a domino effect. The reduced elk population stopped overgrazing riverbanks, vegetation returned, erosion decreased, and the physical geography of the park shifted.
Strategic implication: Your developers need to lift their heads up from the code in front of them and see the bigger picture. How does their service interact with the twelve other services it touches? What happens when their database gets slow, not just to their app, but to everything downstream? When they’re working with AI systems, what feedback loops are they creating?*
