Thanks, that is some good insight. A doubt I still have is: what if the delta is too big? Can you really turn a team of "meh" pogrammers into a bunch of great coders by tring to infuse them with passion? If I have a good understanding of best practices I can probably convince them to a point, but it doesn't seem possible to infuse them with passion somehow. If I want to be around a great team might as well change jobs and give up on learning to lead for the moment.
