Heh. That's why we started our broadband wireless coop. 3 meg up/down, We can go to 6 with the current equipment. $40 per month. And we think that's too expensive, so it will probably go to $30 RSN. And people who have a hard time getting POTS can get it.
Bottom line: be creative and don't rely on others for your bits. Well yeah, luck and hard work helps too.
In a different way, I'm sure I am going to repeat some of what has been said here.
Every relationship I have is a customer-supplier relationship and that applies to my relationships with my employees. They are my customer, and I theirs. Pull on that string a little, and I think you'll find some worthwhile ideas.
I view one of my most important job functions as shielding my employees from management vagaries. Put another way, attempting to reduce uncertainty. Very hard thing to do, but it helps us adapt to change.
Finally, I have found Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams, 2nd Ed. by Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister very enlightening and would recommend that anyone doing software (or, actually, any technical) projects read it.
My $0.02.
