“Framework for debugging teams:
- Mastery
- Autonomy
- Purpose
- Safety” @lisa_van_gelder #LeadDevAustin

“Every time I join a new organisation, it only takes a week or two before someone in senior management sidles up to me to ask “How can we instil a sense of urgency in the team?!” which really means “Why is our pace of delivery so slow??”” @lisa_van_gelder #LeadDevAustin Image
Some great stories about what was really slowing things down, including:
- publicly shaming devs who didn’t complete a story (led to sandbagging)
- individual story point targets (led to seniors being incentivised to NOT help other engineers)

“Inclusion has to come first. Hiring is the easiest part. What happens after you hire them? Career stagnation. Harassment. Assault. These terrible things are real, we’re just reluctant to acknowledge them” @attackgecko #LeadDevAustin
“Most of us live our lives thinking we’re pretty good people. But we’re all complicit in some way. The question is how do know it and what do we do about it” @attackgecko #LeadDevAustin
