Sub‑100-ms APIs emerge from disciplined architecture using latency budgets, minimized hops, async fan‑out, layered caching, circuit breakers, and strong observability.

By fostering growth, psychological safety, and accountability, people-first leadership drives resilience, collaboration, and performance.
