March 26, 2018 by Lorenzo Pasqualis Leave a Comment

Being able to build high-performing engineering teams is a non-negotiable skill for engineering leaders. It is the difference between successful and failing technology companies.

I have been thinking about this topic for many years, studying and decoding what exceptional leaders do to create great teams. During this time, I refined a list of what I believe are 11 must-have elements. I kept it in one the many thousands of Evernote notes that organize my life, and I finally decided to share … [Read more...] about 11 Essential Elements to Build High-Performing Engineering Teams
