Having a relentless drive to improve development process is necessary but you’re working with and for people first and foremost so you can’t treat them as sheep because they don’t see eye to eye with you.

Even that relentless drive needs to be tempered by knowledge, experience, understanding of your client’s/project’s/studio/company needs, etc. Without that it’s just arrogance and ignorance.

The spirit of collaboration is the lifeblood of a successful game production, and it has been my observation that a team will not tolerate a ruthless tech artist even if they are ostensibly “right.”

Surely you must recognize that, even if there is value in being “ruthless,” a tech artist should not proceed without the genuine consent of their artists?
