Can people change?
I was discussing the Deep Dynamics course with a friend of mine, who expressed doubt over whether people can change. He argued that people are either good leaders / team players or not. I do not hold to that belief. Although some people are more naturally talented than others, social skills are just like other skills – they can be improved with training, practice, and perseverance. See Kathy Sierra’s post on how to be an expert at anything.
XP is as much about the social as the technical. Team skills are just as important as TDD prowess.
