" Startups fail to scale up because without the right tools, resistance takes them out. Every startup faces the resistance of risk, confusion, opportunity, and fear. How leaders deal with these issues often spell the difference between success and failure. Examining the patterns that lead to failure of several promising startups will help participants see the warning signs. Startups that successfully scale up follow five simple disciplines. They become students of startup resistance; They build a mission and business model that inspire, create value, and bring clarity; They consistently act on and take responsibility for their top priorities; They regularly learn, adapt, and iterate their plans as necessary; and They create a culture of character and principle that brings out the best in the team."

This is a documentary that may be useful for another CC principle. I selected it because it acknowledges layers of design in the history of cities -both progressive and counterproductive, and where the concepts for the urban designs came from.  

either a departure from Pye's 6 Principles or a consideration of what a "design attitude" is based on empirical research of internationally recognized design organizations.
