One can go this route, and then create N-1 preso&amp;#x2F;diff for &amp;quot;L3 to L4&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;L4 to L5&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;L5 to L6&amp;quot; etc.&lt;p&gt;But that seems something old companies with a ton of bureaucracy would have, not suitable imo for a &amp;quot;young tech company&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;For those, I highly prefer this fits-in-one-tweet definition of L3, L4, L5, L6: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;twitter.com&amp;#x2F;ZainRzv&amp;#x2F;status&amp;#x2F;1502550200396750851&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;twitter.com&amp;#x2F;ZainRzv&amp;#x2F;status&amp;#x2F;1502550200396750851&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

Unless you have implemented this and seen it working well for a period of time, it&amp;#x27;s only &amp;quot;armchair leadership&amp;quot;.</text></comment>
