James Montgomerie:

I think this highlights two things that many other organisations would do well to learn. First, what you have is what it is, it’s not the effort that was put into it. If it’s not worth keeping, it’s not worth keeping. Second, if you want the best results, you need to give good people the room to start over without feeling like they are failing.

Building lasting organizations that can repeatedly build great products—and the right products—is difficult for reasons like this. You have to learn how to build this into your organization.
