I'm glad you enjoyed the article. And thanks for the book tip. I think you are referring to "Rework"
by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson. I will check it out. It looks interesting.
Lauri, this topic is very important. I wrote a book review on "Nine Lies About Work", and one of the lies is that people are loyal to companies, but actually they are loyal to teams. If the "glue people" in teams that you mention are successful, not only will they be successful, they will be happy as well.
