Breaking Codes, Designing Jets and Building Teams
44:53
Summary
Effective teams have a mission - a clearly defined problem which the entire team focuses on and owns end-to-end. Effective teams collaborate without hierarchy, across disciplines and between diverse individuals. Effective teams rapidly learn and adapt. Constant experimentation, tight feedback loops, and a policy of embracing failure are all part of the recipe of success.
