Many people want to know how to build highly effective teams and are unaware of the research Google did 10 years 😅 ago about the characteristics of highly effective teams. Here's my take on Project Aristotle and how leaders can use it to build highly effective teams.

I'm excited to speak at CTO Craft Con: London, 10th-11th March!
I'll be giving a new talk, "The CTO Spectrum" to talk about some of the archetypes I've come across in my career, and even support today as a CTO Coach.

It's coming up to the end of the year, so due to popular demand, I'm sharing an updated end-of-year Retrospective template for 2024. Make a copy of this template and use it to reflect on this year 🥳 docs.google.com/document/d/1...
