While I think there is a lot of good advice in there, I can't help thinking this feels like a management type modeled on the army:

Break down work in pieces that can be done independently in small groups, have the people of the small groups engaged by having them believing they're part of a greater mission. And then there is the "no excuse" culture. That seems like a great way of getting rid of people who don't follow.

I'd be interested in a anonymous feedback from their employees...

Also the end of the article really sounds self-congratulatory...
