leadership

In a little bit less than 7 months of joining GitStart, I have become a developer team manager for the first time. Even with previous experience of working on my own startup involving critical decision making and am used to holding up professional responsibilities, starting to manage people is a whole new level.

GitStart has always been a remote first company since its inception. As many forward thinking companies have realised having a remote and distributed setup has several key advantages.

The bedrock of superlative teamwork is a culture of trust, self belief and active experimentation, followed by concrete reflection. Building an org wide process of reflection and strong feedback loops improve the team’s confidence in what they are delivering.

Great leaders do not feel threatened by others who give them critical or negative feedback.

Companies nowadays are able to create massive valuations with very little investment and labor.
