Towards the end of their conversation, Gary and Rosie touch on the concept of caring. Rosie comments that as long as we care, we will improve the quality of what we're building. Gary goes on to amplify that caring is at the heart of everything we need to do. This is real leading with quality stuff!
What things do you do in your role to show that you care? Not just to say you care but to actually deliver/take action that you care.
And what happens when you notice that folks stop caring?

When folks stop caring... no matter what stuff it is... it will just deteriorate.
If it is the quality of the product and folks don't care about it anymore, so... the quality deteriorates... if it is a human relationship, and again folks stop caring about it... Guess what... again, the quality of the relationship deteriorates
So caring is the emotion that binds us to anything, if we don't care, why would we bind ourselves to that particular stuff?
