Team Culture: How the little things enable great outcomes
summary
Engineering org supports K–12 product with over 50 million users and ~150 engineers in Dublin and runs cross‑functional peer‑to‑peer leadership groups that meet every couple of weeks with homework (books, videos) and facilitated discussion. Sessions use a three‑level curriculum — me / we / us — including the 60/30/10 rule, nonviolent communication and collaborative intelligence; concrete practices are team launches with icebreakers (beach ball), working norms, value‑chain mapping, Jira boards, quarterly pulse checks, and reported gains such as fewer escalations and measurably more productive partner meetings.
