summary• Move fast, reduce feedback loops, to let
people get quick wins. Engineers like to ship.
• Structure is neutral. It lets you scale. Be transparent about structure and seek out learning from failure.
• Practice relating to your colleagues as humans. Trust their good intentions. Apologize when you screw up.
• Don’t settle for an environment where you can’t ask questions and have active discussion.
