Football Quote by Heather Maxwell Chandler
““In fact, a lead should not be the most artistically talented or technically gifted person on the team. You want to keep these talents doing what they do best—creating high-quality assets for the game. If you move these high-quality content creators to lead positions, they won’t have time to create content, and the quality of the game will be diminished.””
