Observer Role While Team Executes

“After Lai Binqiang arrived, he took charge of the front-end code, while Wang Huiwen handled the back-end code. Wang Xing was freed to observe the external world, understanding global product and market changes.”

“Wang Xing did not participate in programming, and neither Wang Huiwen nor Lai Binqiang complained. They understood that this was something the team had to do. No matter what, someone must not get entangled in daily technical work. If everyone was focused only on technology, they would have no opportunity to pay attention to the outside world, become disconnected from it, and create products that only met hypothetical needs, missing possible major trends of the times.”
