In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Edith Harbaugh of Launch Darkly on the way she and her cofounder have deliberately engineered their organisation’s culture
Why listen to this podcast:
• A good engineering culture is one where there is a lot of respect for different people and roles
• Start by good intent on behalf of your colleagues – everyone is doing their best
• Be open to continually learning – mistakes will happen, learn from them in a blame-free way
• Another aspect of respect is ensuring meetings are purposeful, have the right people involved, have a clear agenda and stay on time
• To build mastery it’s OK to be bad at something in the beginning and deliberately get better
• Sharing the reason why the customer chooses the product, rather than how much was earned from the sale, is motivational
