If your team is more than 10 engineers, this is a must read. This is the golden rule to follow: \"Big meetings are terrible when many people think their role is to debate. You get nowhere fast. But big meetings can be great if everyone understands their role, and you can make decisions as you did previously.\"",2,[17,25,33,38],{"listName":6,"listNumber":7,"listDate":8,"cardDate":18,"label":19,"title":20,"url":21,"domain":22,"summary":23,"timeToRead":24},1470944616,"funny!","\"As You Can See, Our Open-Office Floor Plan Really Helps With Developer Productivity\"","https:\u002F\u002Ftwitter.com\u002FThePracticalDev\u002Fstatus\u002F761546959354228740","twitter.com","My humble effort to help you start the weekend with a smile on your face.",1,{"listName":6,"listNumber":7,"listDate":8,"cardDate":26,"label":27,"title":28,"url":29,"domain":30,"summary":31,"timeToRead":32},1471012904,"culture","Healthy Tension in Product Teams","https:\u002F\u002Fblog.intercom.io\u002Fhealthy-tension-in-product-teams\u002F","blog.intercom.io","I often tell my team that \"we should be comfortable with passionately debating, with strong disagreements, if we also know to respect boundaries and support the owner regardless of the decision they made.\" -- After all, when you bring great people you cannot hold them back from expressing their opinions and thoughts. You need to utilize it, not hide it. You have to make sure they deeply care about the customer and the product. That means they will go beyond their boundaries, and you should set an environment that celebrates it.
