Helpful tips for team-building, Arthur! 💯

That's to say: Our teams pivot our projects. And understanding who our teams are, their motivations (just like you identified your team's drive - being their age) would help us make better provisions for them.

...which in turn leads to a higher productivity in value because they are happy! 😊

Some company micromanages. 😅 And some Managers don't care: "because you're paid."

Happy to see that you are driving a change!

The metaphor of the "leader as a team building expert" is extremely useful and insightful. After all, teams are the unit of productivity in software/product development!

Your point about "building bridges" is spot on, and the insight that older team mates (parents, for example) tend to be more focused, and "do the work and get out" types is also insightful.

In my experience, there's another aspect to team building that leaders need to be aware of, I call this the OTOG principle (One-Team-One-Goal).

I'd be interested in your thoughts on these 2 aspects of building a team: https://vascoduarte.substack.com/p/the-key-to-successful-engineering?r=3a1rs5
